The Open Knowledge Conference (OKCon) is back for its fourth installment
bringing together individuals and groups from across the open knowledge
spectrum for a day of talks, discussions and workshops.

This year the event will feature dedicated sessions on 'open knowledge
and development' and 'open data and the semantic web'. In addition we
are reserving a substantial part of the event for the 'Open Space'-
sessions, workshops and discussions proposed either via the call for
proposals or on the day.

Interested in giving a paper? Have a project to talk about? Want to run
a workshop or session? Please see the call for proposals:

<http://www.okfn.org/okcon/cfp/>

Want to get involved in putting the event together or otherwise helping
out? Contact us at info [at] okfn [dot] org or add your name to the
OKCon wiki page:

Last but not least: we encourage early registration as space is limited:

Thanks for letting us know!

This looks interesting - we should certainly make sure we are
represented there. I should be able to attend if people want me to
(I'm not particularly bothered about going for my own sake, but I'm
happy to represent Wikimedia UK if requested - preferably as part of a
group). Perhaps someone (or someones) should give a presentation about
Wikimedia UK, explaining who and what we are (and why they should all
give us lots of money!).

It would be brilliant if Wikimedia UK were represented. If anyone
would like to give a talk, please see the CFP page:
