Open City Workshop: Building Community through Open Information
Date: Saturday March 6, 2010
Time: 9:30am to 4pm
Location: Art Gallery of Alberta
Join community leaders, academics, students, technology enthusiasts,
public servants and elected officials to consider the possibilities and
advance the role of open information in Edmonton and the surrounding
region.
This workshop will build on the good work done at the City’s Open
Data Workshop in November 2009. The consultation and feedback received
at that event led to the City’s introduction of an Open Data Catalogue in January 2010.
Now, we want to hear how you and others think available data can be
used in our city, province and country. The workshop will explore how
technology might facilitate the principles of open government,
increased transparency, collaboration between public sector bodies and
residents, and participatory democracy.
Whether you have a great idea for an application, want to request a
specific data set, or just want to learn what Gov 2.0 is, this workshop
is for you.
