[FOSS4G2016] Open data keynote (was: RE: LAST CHANCE: Keynotes FOSS4G 2016)

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl]

Till, Codrina, Arnulf,

I'm not sure what the current status of the keynote on open data is.

- As far as i know Codrina had a candidate
- I know we have Klaus Deininger (from World Bank) confirmed. Is he talking on open data.
- I might try to reach Ton Zijlstra, who is an open data pioneer, (part-time working at World Bank as well...). See Ton in action at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaEGz4oSAww
Although Ton's scope is broader than just the Geospatial stuff, he's well introduced into our scene.


Regards, 

GJ

Onderwerp: LAST CHANCE: Keynotes FOSS4G 2016

Dear Team!

Since my last call not really much happened with our keynotes.

Just to sum up:
- Homepage Team: please have a look, there are three keynoters fixed:
see #276, #294, #295 and #307
-> TODO: Please add them to the homepage as outlined in #294 and #295


Leave us open three more keynoters:

- Codrinas reply for her Open Data keynoter is still pending. WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!  Decision: TODAY

- Ask CJ Hendrix from UN-Ocha instead? Decision: TODAY

- Pending request from Planet (see my emails from monday) - other opinions?

- Giving OSGeo a panel to introduce to the new strategy of OSGeo? I would prefer having Dirk Frigne as a presenter for this topic, he talks quite well.


Please note:
If I do NOT receive any constructional-minded replies/suggestions by TODAY, 27.4., I go ahead with Planet, Dirk for OSgeo and will knock on CJ Hendrix/UN Ocha's door.
