[open-government] Open Government at OKFestival!

Wed Jul 2 08:49:35 UTC 2014

Dear Open Government Community,

OKFestival is upon us….well, almost! 2 weeks from now it all goes down in
Berlin’s hottest spot - Kulturbrauerei - which will be filled with open
knowledge, open data and open EVERYTHING enthusiasts from all over the
globe. It’s going to be the biggest open knowledge event ever seen on
Planet Earth!

The festival will be so jam-packed with sessions, chats, keynotes,
workshops, hacks, artworks, collaborations and virtual friends meeting each
other for the first time that you definitely shouldn’t risk missing out. As
they say, nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come - and
the time for open knowledge and open data is now - so let’s work together
to build the world we want. Come to Berlin and stand with us at ground zero
of the biggest gathering the open knowledge movement has ever seen!

There are over 20 Open Government sessions at this year's event - I
honestly don't know how you will choose which session to attend! We will
have Open Gov Updates from around the world

we will crowdsource an open data manifesto

, a social contract between government and citizens, with the UK Cabinet
Office, we will use data to follow the mone <http://sched.co/1hH2kTe>y and
collectively we will push the boundaries of Open Government!

More than anything, this Festival is a celebration of and by the community
- of which you are all such key members - and the Open Knowledge Festival
will not be the same if you are not part of it. Each of you brings
something unique, irreplaceable and inimitable to this event - imagine the
impact we can have if we all come together as a global movement from July
15th-17th - in Berlin or wherever else you might be.

Let’s do this, world!

- Open Knowledge
