On Wednesday we announced our first keynote for the Open Government Data Camp 2011. Today we’re very excited to reveal that Andrew Stott will also be joining us to make a keynote presentation! You can still get your early bird tickets here!
###Making Open Data Real – and Stopping The Empire Striking Back
For first movers the early battles have been fought, and won. A key challenge now is how to make Open Data “business as usual”. Drawing on his experience implementing data.gov.uk and on other open data initiatives this talk will look at overcoming the continuing obstacles and excuses to Open Government Data, and how the international open data community need to work together to help do this.
