Thanks! That's very kind of you, I really appreciate your help. I've already created an space for a potential meeting[0], in which I'd like to start talking about establishing an enduring group of people with the same goals. For example, to promote workshops (with focus on the points described in the Open Data Handbook), talks, hackathons, etcetera. On another hand, and as far as I know, Argentina doesn't have any centralized website with collections of publicly available datasets, like datos.gob.cl (Chile), datos.gub.uy (Uruguay) or dados.gov.br (Brazil), and we should have it. It's important to raise awareness about this matter as soon as possible. But before running, we need to learn how to walk, and these are "baby steps" :-) Patricio [0] http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/Buenos-Aires/ _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
