http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/okfn/open-knowledge-foundation-history Trello card on Ideas: https://trello.com/c/87jcRNg3/57-open-knowledge-foundation-history-timemap Here is the source gdocs spreadsheeet<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqR8dXc6Ji4JdDJoRG02VndrNHhKbmRDRnpMMkxWV2c#gid=0> - be delighted to see people jump in with contributions - as long as you're happy with some editorial :-) (one immediate thing is to go through early blog entries!). There is also work led by Charalampos to put together a *Local Groups timemap* (more granular and detailed): TimeMap: http://timemapper.okfnlabs.org/okfn/local-groups-activities Trello card on Ideas: https://trello.com/c/VGQmB1E6/52-create-a-timeline-and-timemap-with-major-okf-local-activities @Everton: you raise more general points especially re 10y anniversary but I thought these were some good resources to get started with!
