## Updates:

### OK Festival
The website is being made right now and the festival is now fully finalised. The date, locaton and details will be announced through our networks tomorrow morning! I’m going to be bugging everyone here to get involved with their projects in some way, so you’ve been warned 🙂

### Third #OpenDataLDN
OpenDataLDN took place last week, and was a big success – 60+ participants and lots of new ideas and interesting projects shared. Blog post and Twitter trail for the event here

### Open Development working group
A proposal was submitted last year to create a European Aid Data Network to the EuropeAid budget line of the European Commission, led by AidInfo in the UK, with Partos (NL), FORS (CZ), ACEP (PT), IGO (PL) and the Open Knowledge Foundation (UK). The partners will hear in March if they have been invited to make a full application for funding, but in the meantime have agreed to start work on some networking actions in any case. This includes:

* Agreeing on the open-development OKFN list as the main co-ordinating point;
* Getting web presence set up for the open-development list to link to upcoming events
* Carrying out a short mapping survey of open-development list members and others to identify existing skills and strengths, and needs, around open-development information, events and resources.

Work of the network has two foci: a) coordination and networking within the open aid data community and b) outreach to NGOs to raise awareness and offer training on open aid data

The group is also looking to identify events coming up in Europe this year to link open development conversations too. Thinking about possible seminars to explore what vision of open development is.

### Open Economics Working Group (Velichka Dimitrova)
