[euopendata] City of Stockholm launch first hack event, open data

Tue Feb 28 19:57:35 UTC 2012

The City of Stockholm launched the first hack event on open data today: http://www.openstockholmaward.se/

The event will be spread out in time between march 13 and may 13 when winners will be announced. Starting on march 13 open data will be made available here: http://open.stockholm.se/oppna-data

Participants can compete in various categories (best idea for an application, concepts, best app for sustainability etc)

I like that organizing events like these bring public servants together in thinking about their data and how it can be made available. 

(disclaimer: I am one of the judges)
