> Hello folks!
>
> Open data day is more than 6 months away, but it is time to discuss how
we want to take it forward and plan ahead.
>
> Open Data Day started (and still is) a grassroot global event. It is
simple and sustainable, since anyone can just make an event in their local
community. I believe that this is one of the amazing initiatives of the
open data community.
>
> In the last three years, open knowledge international has been supporting
Open Data Day with the website, the wiki, and even our open data day events
micro grant. This resulted people to believe that we are in charge of the
event. The simple answer is that we are not in charge of it, this whole
community is in charge, we just support it.
>
> We at Open Knowledge International would like to support Open Data Day in
2017 as well. We don't want to do it alone, but as a group . We would like
to have a call with other people of this community to see how we want to
make Open Data Day better. From site revamp to micro grants, there is a lot
to be discussed (and do!).
>
> Since this is August, and many of us in the Northern hemisphere are on
holiday, I propose to hold this call on the first week of September.
>
> We would like to hear your thoughts on the future of Open Data Day on
this thread and see who would like to take part in the support of Open Data
Day forward.
>
> Looking forward hearing from you,
> Mor and Oscar
