Thankfully, due to a deceptively laid-back but in fact highly efficient organising team, everything ran like clockwork.  Subjects were not arranged in advance but any attendee was free to run a session over the two days, ranging from organised presentations to more open facilitations of discussion. What particularly struck me about the sessions was, while there were naturally a number based on potential uses of OD, at least 50% were concerned with sharing information about or improving current, implemented use of OD. It was clear amongst the attendees that OD has arrived and is offering more than a promise of future gains. There was even a session with a company who were utilising OD commercially and profitably.  <\/p>\n<p>Web Science CDT student <a href=\"http:\/\/dtc.webscience.ecs.soton.ac.uk\/people-and-partners\/list-of-students\/mark-frank\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Frank<\/a> led a very well-attended session on Data Literacy, asking what is it?
