> related to the digitalization of their work, and the different working
> styles that can come with that. Open data is on the agenda in several of

> In my presentation I offered the city council a trade: I will spend 11 days
> of my time next year working on open data for the city without money
> changing hands, if they pay me in kind with the release of datasets to the
> general public.
