Dear LiberationTech list,
I thought you'd be really interested in this, and might have some great ideas around it too; at the Open Knowledge Foundation <http://okfn.org/> we have just announced the Open Knowledge Festival<http://2014.okfestival.org/>for this summer. It's a global gathering of open communities which is going to be held on July 15-17 in Berlin, Germany, over 3 days of keynote lectures, discussion sessions, workshops, hackathons, sprints and more. Because the festival is shaped by its participants, we (I happen to be part of the Programme Team <http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/programme-team/>) are asking for session proposals from anyone with great ideas for really participatory and outcome-driven sessions (please find also some tips about formats here <http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/session-tips/>). You can find more information about the call for proposals here<http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/propose-a-session/> and here<http://2014.okfestival.org/okfestival-streams-concept-and-how-to-get-help/>- check it out - I reckon you'll be interested and could submit something great! And if you know anyone who you think would rock running and facilitating a session at the festival - please feel welcome to share the call far and wide! Plus: a financial aid programme <http://2014.okfestival.org/info/aid/> will be launched soon (to ensure a truly diverse participation) and English is *not* the mandatory language<http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/programme-faqs/>to run sessions. We're going global! Thank you for your kind attention. Looking forward receiving your terrific proposal(s)!
