Hello everyone,

The Open Government Partnership is hosting its annual summit 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. It would be great to discuss suggestions and ideas there.

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
