= Open Knowledge Sheffield (Yorkshire?) =

Overview
Open Knowledge is any material that anyone is free to access, re-use and re-distribute - from sonnets to statistics, genes to geodata. Open Knowledge Sheffield meetups would be an opportunity for those based in Sheffield and South Yorkshire to meet up to discuss open knowledge projects and issues. All are welcome!

People
If you are interested in participating, please add your name to the list below. I'll (Ian) keep an eye on the list and try to organise something if numbers grow.

Meeting
At this point I'm not sure we have enough people interested to justify a stand-alone meeting, but the geekup sheffield crowd meet once per month in the Showroom (First Wednesday of every month) and they have both an open conversation space where I'm sure we would be welcome and a sympathetic agenda. this seems like it might be an ideal place to form a group and get something more concrete going?

Ideas
Please feel free to add below any ideas for events or activities for the Sheffield group.


 * Since sheffield has such a strong history of eLearning / learning / digital media this seems like it might be an ideal place to start a discussion?
