The CKAN team will be joining a webinar on the Open Government Platform (OGPL), an open source platform for open data and open government. Jeanne Holme, Evangelist for Data.gov writes:
We've been working hard on the Open Government Platform (OGPL), an open source capability for open data and open government around the world. This has been an active collaboration with the National Infomatics Centre of the Government of India and the US Government Data.gov team. The decision to move to an open source platform has been both challenging and rewarding. As with any open source capability, the code is only as strong as the community around it. We are getting close to releasing the first complete package of OGPL and would like to get your ideas, feedback, and commits before we proceed. To help with this, we will be holding two information webinars this week (Wednesday and Thursday, December 19 and 20, 2012), and have updated the code and documentation on Github.
We're delighted that CKAN will be part of the OGPL (watch this space for further details!). An agenda and further details for how to join the calls are available here.
