Peter Eigen: Overcoming the fear of transparency
We’ve participated in two interesting events in the last two weeks: the Open Aid Data Conference in Berlin, and the IATI in the Visigrad countries conference in Prague. A proper post is still due, but here’s already a video of the closing talk from Transparency International’s founder Peter Eigen, “Overcoming the fear of transparency”:

“Everything I need to know about open data, I learned from open source”
But what did we learn from open source? Two days of Open Knowledge Conference gave lots of food for thought. And lots of inspiration as well: plenty of projects doing interesting work, and experiences to share. And to add a cherry to the cake, we had a great “open lunch for development” with several people active in development aid. My (delayed) take-aways for Open for Change.
