---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura James <[email protected]> Date: Fri, May 2, 2014 at 10:42 AM Subject: [okfn-advisory] Please welcome Open Knowledge Ireland To: Open Knowledge Advisory Council <[email protected]>
All, On May 7th, there will be a public announcement, so this is confidential for now: we have just confirmed Open Knowledge Ireland as the latest Chapter! Please welcome their representative, Denis Parfenov, to the Advisory Council. Denis has been doing great work as the Open Knowledge Ambassador for Ireland thus far and it's great to see all the work the team in Ireland have done so far. The step up to being a Chapter will help propel open knowledge in Ireland especially as the Open Government Partnership meetings in the next week will be a great platform. Denis Parfenov is the Founder and Director of ActiveCitizen, a grassroots, politically neutral, non-profit community initiative which builds bridges between citizens and their governments through open–source technology tools, communications and advocacy. He holds a Masters degree in International Business from University College of Dublin and a Masters degree in International Relations from Dublin City University. As the Open Knowledge Ambassador for Ireland, which leads Open Data Ireland Community, Denis initiated (Sept. 2011), managed and successfully executed civic campaign which resulted in a commitment of the Irish government to participating in the Open Government Partnership (20 May 2013).
