Making it Matter Workshop: Supporting education in the developing world through open and linked data

Dear All,

Last week the the LinkedUp Project <http://linkedup-project.eu> and the 
Commonwealth of Learning <http://www.col.org/Pages/default.aspx> held 
the Making it Matter workshop 
<http://linkedup-project.eu/making-it-matter-workshop/> in London. The 
aim was to bring together software developers, educators and individuals 
from the development community to see how they can work together by 
using open and linked data to support education in the developing world.

We hope the event was a success - though the true measure of that will 
be if we build on the connections we've made and ideas we've collected!

  * All slides and videos of presentations are now available online
    <http://linkedup-project.eu/2014/05/20/making-it-matter-slides-videos/>
    - we streamed the whole day so there are even videos of breakout
    group discussions
  * There are a selection of photos on Flickr

  * There is a storify of tweets
