I am really keen we look at this oportunity. There is a huge and growing
demand for scientific data repositories and I'd like to see if CKAN/DataHub
can meet this. There has to be an Open offering so the OKF is the natural
place - who else?

So maybe we need a brainstorming day to work out what the problems are,
what we can offer and then - if they click - whether we can sell the idea
to receptive funders (RCUK, Wellcome - EBI, etc.)

FWIW I am giving a plenary at Rome next week on "Open Infrastructure for
Open Science" and if we had a clear position I could advertise it.
