Jury Konga is also involved. They had a launch event in Toronto in June: http://www.meetup.com/gov20toronto/events/122248892/ (I couldn't make it, and haven't yet spoken to anyone who did, but I'm meeting Dennis for coffee this afternoon.) Gabe

They are trying to do some good things, Jury is seasoned on the issue, his colleague is learning. Chat them up at the event. On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 11:16 AM, Michael Lenczner <[hidden email]> wrote:

I met Dennis at the Go Open Data conference in Waterloo, and a few friends attended the June launch event in Toronto. There is clearly more work that can be done around open data in Canada. My understanding (at least at the time of the event, which is to my knowledge their latest) is that they are still figuring out what they want to do, how they are going to do it, how they fit in with existing initiatives, etc. If anyone knows more, please share any updates :)

I keep coming across the U.K. Open Data
Institute more and more (theodi.org). They're doing some
interesting work. I think they started up just last year and seem
to have some serious funding behind them. I'm not sure if the
Canada Open Data Institute is related to the U.K. one though?

FYI: "ODI’s CEO Gavin Starks told me that the governments of 25 countries have approached ODI to discuss working together to potentially create ODIs around the world" On 21 August 2013 19:50, Kent Mewhort <[hidden email]> wrote:

To answer Kent's question: the Open Data Institute of Canada is not related to the UK ODI. The ODI has no nodes in its international network as of now. In terms of funding, A UK public body gave the ODI $10M funding over 5 years - contingent on businesses pledging a similar sum. There is also an unrelated Chicago group: http://opendatainstitute.org/
