This coming Tuesday I'll be in Manchester, and, together with Sam Smith, am organizing something of an OKFN open data day (see below).

Rufus Pollock - University of Cambridge, Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law There has been growing interest in many circles, and especially in government regarding 'open data'. In this talk I explain what open is, what's its attraction is, especially for public sector information, from an economic and policy standpoint, and finally explain how governments and others can adopt this new approach. - http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/seminars Followed by drinks in Sandbar from 5:30 (ish) If you're interested in working with open data generally or any specific OKFN projects such as WhereDoesMyMoneyGo, CKAN, etc, you're very welcome to come along to any part of it.
