I also discussed the idea with Theodoros Karounos who is the CCGR hosting institution (GFOSS) director and he will be supporting us as well. GFOSS is an NGO that is part of the OGP network. Theodoros suggested to try and network with the CC-affiliates whose govs are going to participate to the OGP so that we increase attendance to the workshop. We could be assisted in this by Thanassis Priftis who is the OGP assessor for Greece and has quite some experience in the OGP workings. I am also ccing Pam, since this will take place in the UK to further discuss how we could do some additional networking with the UK government.
