Subject: [OSGeo Africa] Liberate South Africa's data - 24th October
Hi All
Something big is brewing in the open data world (we haven’t been given
the all clear to say what it is exactly). In order to coincide with
the announcement, we are hosting Data Quests in Cape Town, Durban and
Pretoria (alas, we couldn’t get it together to arrange an event in
Johannesburg).
We’re inviting all you artists, data journalists, activists, teachers,
carpenters, garage mechanics and cartographers to join us on the 24th
of October to dig through South African data, find stories and build
awesome visualisations. This is going to be a coordinated push across
the country showing that there is a strong demand for government to
open up its data.
So warm up those Excel fingers and sharpen your dataviz skills - next
Saturday is going to be a big day for open data in South Africa.
P.S. If you would like to host an event in your town (Pofadder, I’m
looking at you), send us an email and we will help you set it up.
If you’re planning on coming, please fill in this form:
