Chapter focus
Initially, we propose the following goals for the German chapter (you can suggest changes or other goals on the mailing list or the discussion page):
 * 1) raise awareness on and promote open government data and facilitate the dialogue between civil society and government about this issue
 * 2) run and create sustainable open knowledge projects on local content, such as the open data projects "offener Haushalt", "offene Daten", "Frag den Staat", "Frankfurt gestalten"
 * 3) use the projects above among others to make scientific research on government data
 * 4) bring together open content communities and people who share Open Knowledge Foundation vision
 * 5) foster a datajournalism community in Germany

Important: the community we want to build is nonprofit and nonpartisian, and the main goal is to pursue OKFn vision with sustainable projects and a vibrant community.
