Dear colleagues:

in case you haven’t seen this yet. The deadline is in 3 days though:

"The Open Data Institute (ODI) is looking for a French speaking open licensing legal expert to advise the Burkina Faso Open Data Initiative on applying an open license to their portal. The objective of this work is to provide training to the Burkina Faso Open Data Initiative to enable them to improve their open data portal, specifically around their open licensing. The main output of the work will be a half day remote workshop to train the BODI team in applying the CC-BY v4.0 (International) license, and understanding what that licence means, to the datasets on their open data portal: data.gov.bf. The trainer will work with a team at the ODI who are implementing leadership support activities in Burkina Faso during June-September 2015.”


If you decide to tender, please get in touch with me. We have just completed a pretty thorough examination of two other Open Data initiatives in Africa from a licensing point of view. This might be of interest for that work.

Best,

Tobias
