[ok-scotland] Dec 4th as International Open Data Hackday

[Jo Walsh]

Ref. to this blog post by David A. Eaves, a Canadian open data mover and 
shaker, gathering momentum for an "International Open Data Hackday" on 
December 4th.

Via the swig-scotland list, a terrific index of "public data" (e.g. not 
necessarily open or downloadable in structured form, but managed by the 
state)
https://sites.google.com/site/scotlandsdata/dataandvocabularies

Wondering if RCAHMS or GRO would be in a position to host something / 
offer up datasets for a special occasion.

I won't be around Edinburgh Dec 4th though, off South for a family thing.
