Workshop(s)

One of the causes of limited data sharing in emergency, has historically been the lack of availability of agencies to cooperate. This is due to a variety of factors (have done bits of research in this space), including limited know how and people resources. However this seems to be changing, because organisations are smartening up and adopting web based technologies by default, they also indirectly buy into open source culture etcetera We have been thinking of doing one or more follow up workshop to evaluate the framework, and started getting people to cooperate and refine our proposed schema, etc If we have enough people and organisations on board, even a small workshop, or series of small workshops, could make sense.

Please consider organising one or more workshops where it suits, and ask people to come and give input
