Fwd: [données-ouvertes-mtl] Article: Unblight: community unconference on housing data

Michael Lenczner-2
Very cool conference. This is the kind of application of data that certain people (*cough* Tracey *cough*) thought that us "app developers" were ignoring, when in fact, this has been a focus all along. It just required talking a lot more about startups than about social justice over the first 5 years. ;)

I expect to see a lot more of this stuff in the near future - and Montreal's Ecohack (http://ecohackmtl.org/) is another good example. This week I'll be working on a proposal on publishing non-profit data for the federal open gov consultation.

CKX is another example. Open data and social services people hanging out to talk about research, data-informed decisions and policy, etc.

Housing Open Data Challenge

Applications are now open for our Housing Open Data Challenge

"How can we use open data to help people get the best out of renting?"

The Housing Open Data Challenge, run by Nesta and the Open Data Institute, invites teams to use open data to build products and services to help people get the best out of renting (including to provide greater housing options for those renting). This includes both:

  • Those who are renting in the private rented sector 
  • Those who are renting from social landlords.

The winner of the Challenge will be in line for £40,000 equity-free funding to further develop their product.

Please use this group to register your interest by creating a profile and submitting your ideas. For further information, including dates for events, please see the full details on our website: http://bit.ly/1isUt1z
