Provisional programme for 2016

[Julian Tait]

Hi all,

Firstly thanks to all who turned up for the Open Data Manchester planning meeting last Tuesday. We now have a provisional (alpha) version of the ODM 2016 programme.

There are a mixture of workshops, presentations and briefings as well as a more focussed programme on health data - in a similar way that we did the Data Visualisation series.

Events will generally take place on the last Tuesday of the month but the more niche briefing and policy sessions will take place during the day or alternative days. This isn't a totally fixed programme - more like an Alpha version. So if you want to organise something or if your organisation wants a partner to help deliver an event please reply here or send an email.

We try and keep ODM events free and we rely on the generosity of others especially speakers, workshop leaders etc. Sometimes they can end up out of pocket so if people want to sponsor a particular event, it will mean that no-one is out of pocket.

Cheers

Julian
