Using a shared electronic calendar helps ensure your group members always have the most up-to-date information, and removes the hassle of having to shoot emails back-and-forth making sure everyone's on the same page. Google Calendar is a relatively easy, free option to do this, and is convenient because so many people have GMail accounts. Doodle and ScheduleOnce are also helpful tools for finding people's availability.

Create a shared calendar

1. let the other members of your group know something like the following:

   You will be getting a lot of email notifications – just RSVP Yes/No/Maybe from the email notification, or from within the Google calendar. If you use iCal, follow these instructions to have the shared Google calendar appear there.

2. create a Google Calendar account, if you don't have one

3. create a new calendar with

In a world full of systems generating endless amounts of data, only a small fraction of this information is available to consumers in a format that's easily reusable. This talk is a thought experiment: what would be possible if all data were public, period? What would governments and businesses look like? What would it mean for privacy?

What types of information do we just take for granted as inaccessible, and what are the possibilities if it were open? We'll walk through a couple major news stories and examine how they could have been solved (if not avoided entirely) by full freedom of information. We'll also look at a few hypothetical situations, where entirely open data could make way for new possibilities in productivity, healthcare, transportation, and more.

Dear reader-

You are most likely reading this message becase you clicked through on a discussion thread where everything that needs to be said has been said, support for the proposal has clearly been established, and the conversation has devolved into people simply commenting with variations of "+1". Please recognize that this isn't moving the proposal forward, and is probably just frustrating whomever would actually be in a position of actually making it happen.

Thank you for your understanding.
