DECISIONS
We will start sketching the programme outline and working on the themes + list of programme committee members NOW. The deadline for deciding the themes of OKfest (including OKCon and  OGDCamp) and confirming a list of people to invite for the programme   committee is Monday 12 March (in two weeks)

The Finnish folks (at least Juha H, Petri K, Massimo M) will meet on Monday 6 March at 12:00 in Aalto Media Factory to discuss the themes We will send out a Call for Proposals on Monday 19 March. We send out just this one call - people have to choose the theme +  programme format when applying. We also have just one programme  committee (not one per stream).

We will send out a press release (for Finnish + international media) on Monday 19 March (same day when CFP goes out) The deadline for the CFP is approx one month later (approx 19 April). At this point we can decide to extend the deadline (by a week or so). In addition we will need to decide how to include last minute additions  into the programme (suggestions that arrive just before the festival)  -  we can decide about this after the official deadline.

Putting together a document about benefits of open data/knowledge for Sitra:   Petri Kola will lead this process and others will contribute. The  deadline is Monday 12 March (in two weeks)
