OpenCon, 2015-11-14

How the story began
• Bratislava -> Opava (2009)
• Open Access colleagues
• Opava -> Bratislava (2014)

OGP context
• 69 countries, cool core values!
• Access to info, civic participation,
public accountability, technology &
innovation for openness + accountability
• Two-year action plans

„Not My Job“
• OE & many issues: nobody‘s job
(blue ocean)
• Definitely not my job – So what? 
• Paris footnote

Troublemaker when needed
• Rule number one... (Ministry process)
• Rule number two... (OGP process)
• Building the wings down the runway

Unintended consequences
• Impostor syndrome (environment)
• Feeling like a failure? (I did, until...)
• Sowing seeds: reaping later (grandma)

What about you?
• OGP country? (Unconference)
• P = „partnership“ CSO-Government
• Extend the scope? (OD -> OE, FLOSS,...)
