There is a Hackfest planned in Ottawa on April 24. A beautiful web presence has been created (
http://opendataottawa.ca/) and a wiki is filling up with ideas.
The invite goes out to:
- Developers
- Designers
- Librarians
- Statisticians
- Citizens
This is a wonderful opportunity to apply ones professional skills as a citizen to build something together!
I have included people in this correspondence who may not have attended this type of event before, but I know that you as activists, professors, students, engaged citizens, geomaticians, public servants, union organizers, etc. may know people who might be interested in contributing to this and you may have other lists to disseminate this to.
There are also some Montrealers & Torontonians who may want to come and show their wares and re-purpose them for the city of Ottawa.
