[publicdata-eu] Countries on publicdata.eu

Mon Feb 7 13:49:02 UTC 2011

My Next Big Action item, after all the energy.publicdata.eu stuff, was
to start blogging about some of the issues we're interested, to try to
start a broader conversation with key stakeholders.

Friedrich (and anyone else): perhaps we can have a quick chat about
some of the geo/location stuff and this can inform a short post about
this?

Going to start with another more general post on 'Soup to sense:
exposing and improving metadata about Europe's public information'...
