> Hi everyone
> I would like to announce for anyone interested that Poderomedia Foundation
> and PinLatam are launching OpenDataLatinoamerica.org, a regional data
> repository to free data and use it on Hackathons and other activities by
> HacksHackers chapters and other organizations.
> We are doing this because the road to the future of news has been littered
> with lost datasets. A day or so after every hackathon and meeting where a
> group has come together to analyze, compare and understand a particular set
> of data, someone tries to remember where the successful files were stored.
> Too often, no one is certain. Therefore with Mariano Blejman we realized
> that we need a central repository where you can share the data that you
> have proved to be reliable: OpenData Latinoamérica, which we are leading as
> ICFJ Knight International Journalism Fellows.
> If you work in Latin America or Central America your organization can take
> part in OpenDataLatinoamerica.org. To apply, go to the website and answer a
> simple form agreeing to meet the standard criteria for open data. Once the
> application is approved, you will receive an account to start running and
> managing open data, becoming part of the community.
> Together we are stronger, and we can do great things. We’re waiting for
> you at OpenDataLatinoamérica.org.
