Open Development at OKFestival | Open Knowledge Festival 2014

"OKFestival is upon us! The festivities kick off tomorrow! Open data and open knowledge enthusiasts from around the world will be descending on Berlin’s hottest spot – the Kulturbrauerei – for the largest open knowledge gathering the world has ever seen! The OKFestival programme team have spent months curating two and a half action packed days of keynotes, participatory sessions and hacks but for the open knowledge community, 2 days was never going to be enough! Community members, excited to dig deeper and explore more, have organised additional sessions and workshops to fill the entire week so come early and stay late because you won’t want to be anywhere else this week ... For the past two years, Open Development has been a core theme at our events and while this year we have not organised our programme around specific areas of knowledge, Open Development remains front and centre with three fringe events and a number of development focused sessions.  For development practitioners, researchers, civil servants, civil society representatives and anyone interesting in exploring the challenges and opportunities of open knowledge within the development context – here is just a taste of what the Open Development community has organised! ..."
