====== About @loleg ======

**☑ Ideator ☑ Developer ☑ Staff** 

Hi, I'm Oleg, an IT professional based in Switzerland, director at [[http://opendata.ch|Opendata.ch]], local ambassador to the [[http://okfn.org|Open Knowledge]]  network, member of [[http://www.ch-open.ch|/ch/open]] and one of the people behind [[http://make.opendata.ch|make.opendata.ch]] events.

I'm passionate about the way the Internet is enabling people around the world to communicate, strengthen communities and improve livelihoods, and for this to continue I believe it is important to open and constantly improve access to information, build better tools for analyzing and making decisions with data, and encourage sustainable models for public service, business and research empowered by the [[http://tantek.com/2010/281/b1/what-is-the-open-web|Open Web]] ([[http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.olsc.org/web_ouvert|FR]]).
