Hello everyone,
The Open Government Partnership is hosting its annual
summit<http://www.opengovpartnership.org/open-government-partnership-ann…
on
31 October and 1 November. This could be a good opportunity to build
networks in this area and find ways that we can demonstrate the value of
Wikimedia projects. We may be able to find ways to influence thinking
around open knowledge and how this can fit in with public policy. They have
issued a call for proposals which has a deadline of 1 September.
I wonder if this is of interest to anybody. There's a thread on this topic
on the Water Cooler of the WMUK wiki
here<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Water_cooler#Open_Government_Partnersh…ls>.
It would be great to discuss suggestions and ideas there.
Thanks and regards,
Stevie
