Perhaps we could suggest that they add an additional
possible topic area Open Data and its impact on grassroots
communities.

Thats a great idea. Last year during my OKFN's Open government data camp (which is now part of the festival) I challenged the organizers in my keynote to try to get more non-profits and community groups engaged in the conference as I believe this is where there are big wins to be had around engagement and participation. (I summarized my keynote here - I know there is video somewhere but couldn't find it - http://eaves.ca/2011/10/21/the-state-of-open-data-2011/) This might be a good way to focus the organizers on this goal. -- @daeaves Sent from my iPhone
