Hi all,
If you haven't yet heard, this year's Open Knowledge Festival will take
place in Helsinki in September. See: http://okfestival.org/
Plans are currently being developed, and it would be great if we could put
an exciting Open Science and Open Access stream together. We have begun to
outline potential topics and suggest speakers we may wish to invite at
http://science.okfnpad.org/OKFest. Please do add your thoughts!
The organising committee have requested that individual streams should have
one or two main contact people, plus a small organising team [see email
below]. I am happy to act as one of the main contact people if you would be
happy with that, and would love a couple of people to join me!
Please let me know if you would like to be involved with the planning at
this stage. To stay in the loop with the organising committee, you can also
join the okfestival-coord mailing list here:
http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfestival-coord.
Finally, please do reserve the dates in your diary. We hope that many of
you may be able to join us in Helsinki in September!
All the best,
Laura

Hello everyone,
About developing the streams further -
Some streams (like Open data in Aid and Development and GLAM) have already
several people involved and some concrete ideas about the format/content of
the stream. Some streams are currently just ideas suggested by someone on
this list.
To get a better overview of the current situation, could you please update
the info about your stream at our Etherpad page:
http://okfestival.okfnpad.org/**helsinki<http://okfestival.okfnpad.org/helsinki>
The format could be something like this:
*# open GLAM / Open Cultural Data
*
short-description-here
Responsible persons (1-2): NNN, ZZZ
People who are willing on be involved in organising this stream: NNN, ZZZ
People interested in this stream: NNN, ZZZ
- - - -
Or alternatively for the streams that are just ideas:
*# name-of-the-stream*
short-description-here
I'm looking for more people to get involved in this - please write your
name + email here, or give a shout on the email list!
Suggested by: NNNN
- - -
It would be great if each stream could nominate 1-2 people to be the main
contact persons, this will make programme planning and various
organisational matters more smooth. And yes, it would be great if each
stream would have one person from Helsinki (or from elsewhere in Finland)
involved.
The programme planning will happen as a dialogue between the organising
committee, advisory board and the groups of people responsible for the
streams. We are currently not sure if we set up a separate programme
planning list, or whether we use this list for the planning discussions.
The OKFest Call for Proposals will be published soon, in the call we will
ask people to give a more concrete suggestion about the format/content of
the stream. When we send out the call we will also give you more
information about the venues we have, and some suggestions of possible
programme formats (we hope that people would suggest some non-traditional
programme formats). Me and other members of the organising team will help
you to make these suggestions, and we can talk about them here.
Best regards,
Juha.
