Hi all,

Do you have an area of expertise with open data that you would be willing to share with others?

I’m developing a handbook for new users of Open Data, for example someone entering into a hackathon for the first time, or a public servant want to develop their data skills.

The handbook will be made public and free before September 2019. I am looking for co-contributors to write on their area of expertise. It will be like a mini version of ‘Beyond Transparency’ ([https://beyondtransparency.org/](https://beyondtransparency.org/)).

If you are interested in partnering or contributing to this - please let me know at [julian@opendataconnect.com](mailto:julian@opendataconnect.com)

Thanks,  
Julian
