[Open-transport] Fwd: Invitation - SNCF - Transilien Open Data (Paris, France)

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi Laura,

I would be very glad to do this, although I would have to reschedule
some meeting. If this is okay by anyone else of course.

Next to currently setting up the incubating Belgian chapter of OKFN I'm
currently active in iRail, a not-for profit organisation which promotes
digital creativity using open transport data. In 2010 we got a cease and
desist letter from the Belgian railway company due to "copyright
infringement" which we publicly replied to, and got some media attention
as a result. Since that day we have been talking to transport
organisations concerning an open data policy. You can find more
information here: http://hello.iRail.be.

I'm very interested in the data.sncf.fr story

Kind regards,

Pieter
