[ddj] Need techie help to get your data? Offers of assistance on 3rd December.

Mon Nov 28 19:02:10 UTC 2011

Hi All,

Over the past few months, I've been at numerous conferences where
journalists raise the question: "Where can I get someone to help me
get the data I need for my story?". We're obviously keen to encourage
journalists to learn the skills to do it for themselves, but
occasionally, help is on hand.

On Open Data Day, 3rd December (this Saturday), bring along your
problem datasets and we will help you scrape them, extract them and
maybe even tidy them up :)

Can you scrape? We also need you! Come along and help liberate as many
datasets as possible!
