The Open Government Data Camp (OGD Camp) 2011 is the largest Open Government Data conference in the world. The event is being organized by the Open Knowledge Foundation and takes place in Warsaw, na Poland, in the next 20th and 21st (thursday and friday), e gathers well known personalities and open data activists from more than 40 countries.

Even though the main event beings thursday, the activities have already started. The so-called "satellite events" are related activities that happen this week in parallel to the Camp. Most of them will take place in Warsaw, at the Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities, but there will also be one in Canberra, Austrália, on the 21st, that is being promoted by the Australian government.

The sattelite events have a practical slant. Some of them are hands-on workshops and some deal directly with software - for instance, one of them is about CKAN, an open source software for collaborative open data cataloguing used on thedatahub.org. The CKAN workshop will cover topics such as installation, configuration, customization, and even the use of its API.

The tickets cost €30 per day, and there are discounts for students.
