Fwd: International Open Data Conference in Madrid - Proposals

Hi,

During the meeting in Zagreb, last week, I was asked for and more
information about the International Open Data Conference
<http://opendatacon.org>, to be held in Madrid, on 6-7 October. Someone of
you already sent some contributions.

Anyone can propose new topics and sessions to discuss during the event. The
Call for Proposals is open until *3rd April*, so two weeks from now.

To clarify, there are three different tracks:

   - *Call for Impact*: inspiring open-data-driven initiatives. Impact
   Sessions will be panels to present lightning (5-8') talks with 'Impact
   Stories' about specific open data topics. Stories must have a clear impact
   to be presented in this track.
   - *Call for Sharing*: collaborative learning, Skills, and Good Practice.
   These Sharing Sessions are interactive and engaging thematic spaces to have
   in-depth engagement with peers. Sharing sessions seek to allow interest
   groups or thematic communities to gather together in order to discuss
   specific topics to solve challenges, collect best practices and learn from
   others. Each of these sessions will have between 1 and 2 hours reserved.
   - *Call for Action*. Submissions will help produce a revised version of
   the community-led IODC roadmap, which will include updated priorities,
   commitments and required collaborative actions. See more about about
   this roadmap
   <http://opendatacon.org/iodc16/call-for-proposals/call-for-action/?lang=en>
   .

I think that both, Share PSI and the W3C DWBP groups should propose, at
least, a 'sharing' session to continue discussing the work done. Also, all
of you (as individuals or on behalf of your organization) have a lot of
things to present there. It takes just 5' through a simple form. Please,
have into account that if you have budget restrictions to travel, you can
ask for some funds to cover these expenses (in the form).

All the info, and the submission form at:
http://opendatacon.org/iodc16/call-for-proposals/

Let me know if you have any doubt. Also if you plan to attend and/or if you
volunteer to send the proposal.

Best,

Martin
