Speaker bio
Nigel is a web developer working out of Bangalore, India. During the day he works as a core developer on CKAN, conducts CKAN trainings around the world, and helps the Open Knowledge sysadmin team.
He loves open source as it enables him to contribute to an ever-growing intellectual pool of knowledge. When he isn't writing code for Open Knowledge, he likes to cook, play with his Raspberry Pi, or contribute to Mozilla. Nobody is sure if he actually ever sleeps.
