Listers I share here a link http://t.co/OyGiQPo to a blog from Ushahidi co-founder Juliana Rotich on Open Data and open government. It is a great read on the importance of open data and particularly relevant as PS Ndemo leads Kenya's delegation that is currently in Brasilia for the 2nd Annual Open Government Partnership Meeting. It is a great read and helps create understanding on the subject.
