I have worked on opening up government data and information since 2009 and in open science/research since 2011. See here for what we did this year: https://sites.google.com/site/nzauopenresearch/
I'm doing this course as we are planning open research training here, and I'm hoping to re-use some of the course materials (if possible).
Looking forward to learning, being re-inspired and reminded why this stuff is important :)
