OKFFI working groups

gistfile1.html

<p>Working Groups are domain-specific groups to focus on discussion and activity around a given area of open knowledge. They provide an opportunity for people with similar interests to gather online (and sometimes in person) to hack, discuss, lobby, promote and explore particular areas of Open Knowledge and/or Open Data.</p>
<p>To get involved please find the group you are interested in below and click through to join their mailing list.
If you have a question or want to propose a new working group then please refer to the <a href="http://okfn.org/wg/faq/">FAQ</a></p>
