Hi everyone,
As things gear up for the tenth Open Data Day tomorrow (Saturday 7th March 2020), Catherine Stihler, CEO of the Open Knowledge Foundation, has published a blogpost highlighting some of the exciting events we’re helping to support via our mini-grants scheme this year as well as reminding everyone why open data is important: Celebrating the tenth Open Data Day on Saturday 7th March 2020 – Open Knowledge Foundation blog
During Open Data Day itself, I’ll be working to highlight all the best events taking place all over the world via the OKFN channels. Please tag @OKFN on Twitter or email network@okfn.org if you want me to see your message.
