Learning and sharing across the global Open Knowledge community are the two core purposes of our regular Community Sessions.
This week Mart van de Ven and Bastien Douglas joined us to share all about the Open Data Hong Kong community.
Some of the key lessons they advised are: ask your community for help more, have regular events, translation is key and be ready for longer term engagement. Mart, Bastien and the ODHK folks: Have a great Longitudinal Hack!
