OKF_@_ODD14 Welcome to the Open Knowledge Foundation etherpad for Open Data Day 2014!

We're collecting info about Open Data Day 2014 events all around the world, organised by the Open Knowledge Foundation community and by any other open community happy to connect with us (welcome! We're so happy to connect with you!)
We'll then gather all the information and resources about your initiatives in a wrap-up blogpost on the OKF main blog http://blog.okfn.org/ and (in this case, only if you feel comfortable about being recognised as part of the OKF community) spread the word about your work also on our OKF Community Stories Tumblr http://okfncommunity.tumblr.com/

Thank you for your contribution!
