Creative Commons Salon on Open Data (an Ottawa Event, March 30th)

[Kent Mewhort]

For those that can make it to an event in Ottawa on March 30th, CIPPIC and the Creative Law Society at the University of Ottawa will be hosting a Creative Commons Salon on the theme of Open Data.  We have a great line-up of speakers (a lot of whom will be familiar to those on this list) and it should be an really interesting event.

 When: March 30th, 1-5pm (with a reception afterwards)
 Where: Fauteux Building, University of Ottawa (FTX 147B)
 Speakers:
  David Eaves (eaves.ca)
  Prof. Elizabeth Judge (University of Ottawa)
  Tracey Lauriault (Carleton Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre; datalibre.ca)
  Pete Forde (BuzzData)
  Joey Coleman (Journalist)
  Edward Ocampo-Gooding (Ottawa Open Data);
  Sébastien Pierre (MontréalOuvert and QuébecOuvert)

We also highly encourage the data providers out there to come: we will be facilitating a roundtable discussion for data providers to discuss compatibility issues between the licenses of different data portals.  It'll provide an opportunity to talk about how governments can make their own data portals compatible with this international standard, and about the possibilities for adopting Creative Commons licenses.

The full schedule is available at http://www.cippic.ca/en/cc-salon.

Sounds like a great event. Suggest we can post the outcomes of the session on the CCSD-OGP site?
