Greetings - we are happy to inform you that OKFestival's Call for Proposals is now officially released!
You can find the Call for Proposals (submission deadlines April 20th and June 1st) here [1] and our blog posting with the details here [2]. This year, we're opening up more than 2/3 of the programme to you as Guest Organisers - and I'm hoping much of that programming will come from OKF networks and the many great projects you're all involved with. This move is based on our belief that when an event is crowdsourced through a co-operative combination of civil society representatives, programmers, data wranglers, students and members of government, the most interesting results (and relationships!) are facilitated. Also, if any of you are in Estonia next month, we'll presenting OKFestival at the Free City Festival [3] in Tallinn – and in the meantime, we’ll see you online. Looking forward to working with many of you more as you become Guest Organisers and join us in Helsinki!
