 "First
 and foremost, we are looking for African Open Data problems
 to study and explore that together with a larger
 international community can be addressed and solved as part
 of the Open Government Partnership.  Participants will
 include African Open Government Partnership members with
 existing Open Data 

 programs, the US State Department, USAID, USDA, The World
 Bank, IBM, and many Open Data community groups.


 The event will take place at the IBM Institute for Open
 Government in Washington, DC and will be broadcast to
 US Embassies and IBM locations in Africa."

 On August 5th, The US State Department,
 US Office of Science and Technology, USAID, USDA, and IBM
 are hosting a
 one-day Africa Open Data Jam as part of the US-African
 Leaders Summit.
  We expect a wide range of policy and data professionals
 from across
 Africa and the United States to participate.  The goal is
 to share
 African experiences in Open Data publishing, real use cases
 that demonstrate
 growth and empowerment, develop skills and capabilities, and
 build a global
 community of Open Data developers and professionals who can
 help Africa
 become an Open Data leader.



 This Jam is designed to be
 interactive,
 informative, and fun. It will involve diverse skills and
 experiences, and
 showcase real live examples of how Open Data works, African
 Challenges
 and opportunities, and example applications. There will be a
 mixture of
 keynote presentation, panel discussions, lightning talks,
 solution demonstrations,
 and problem-solving workshops. Participants

 should come out of the meeting with
 tangible experiences of what works, how it works, and how it
 can be deployed
 at home – with new relationships across Africa and the
 United States.



 Our goal is to create new global
 relationships
 that bring passionate Open Data communities together to
 share common challenges
 and build new solutions.  It doesn't matter where you
 live, where
 you were born, or where you work.  We are looking for
 Citizens of
 the World to work together to help African countries embrace
 Open Government
 and Open Data.  If you are interested in lending your
 skills and talents
 to a new international effort that will make a
 difference please
 join this meetup group and RSVP by August 1st.
