So, with much help from various community members (who reminded me that we
need to get this rolling – looking at you Heather Leson<https://twitter.com/HeatherLeson>),
I’m pleased to say we are starting to gear up for *Open Data Day 2014
<http://opendataday.org/> on February 22nd, 2014*.
>From its humble beginnings of a conversation between a few friends who were
interested in promoting and playing with open data, last year Open Data Day
had locally organized events take place in *over 100 cities around the
world*. Check out this video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO5Tgq1QOsc>of Open Data Day in Kathmandu last year.
Why makes Open Data Day work? Mostly you. It is a global excuse for people
in communities like yours to come together and *organize an event that
meets their needs*. Whether that is a hackathon, a showcase and fair,
lectures, workshops for local NGOs and businesses, training on data, or
meetings with local politicians – people are free to organize around
whatever they think their community needs. You can read more about how Open
Data Day works on the event website <http://opendataday.org/>.
*Want to join in on the fun?* I thought you’d never ask. Listed below are
some different ways you can help make Open Data Day 2014 a success in your
community!
a) how can i let everyone know about open data day
I love the enthusiasm. Here’s a tweet you can send:
#OpenData Day is community powered in a timezone near you
http://opendataday.org #ODD2014
Yes, our hashtag is #ODD2014. Cause we are odd. And cause we love open data.
b) i’d like to participate!
Great! If you are interested in participating in check out the Open Data
Day wiki <http://wiki.opendataday.org/Main_Page>. We’ve just unlocked the
pages so cities haven’t been added yet but feel free to add your city to
the list <http://wiki.opendataday.org/2014/City_Events>, and put down your
name as interested in participating. You can even check to see who
organized the event last year <http://wiki.opendataday.org/2013/City_Events>to see if they are interested in doing it again.
c) forget about participating, i want to coordinate an open data day event
in my city.
Whoa! Very exciting! Here’s a short checklist of what to do:
-
If you didn’t organize one last year, check to see if anyone in your
city did <http://wiki.opendataday.org/2013/City_Events>. It would be
good to connect with them first.
-
Read the Open Data Day website <http://opendataday.org/>. Basically,
pick up on our vibe: we want Open Data Day to work for everyone, from
novices who know little about data to experts like Kaggle participants and
uber geeks like Bruce Schneier. These events have always been welcoming and
encouraging – it is part of the design challenge.
-
Okay, now add your city to the list<http://wiki.opendataday.org/2014/City_Events>,
let people know where it will be taking place (or that you are working on
securing space), let them know a rough agenda, what to expect, and how they
can contribute.
-
Add yourself to the 2014 Open Data Day map<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgWnIWeQjA0AdFZlTnlKbTdQbDFHMVpROG9FUldXcVE&usp=drive_web#gid=0>.
(Hint: Wikipedia lists Lat/Long in the information side bar for each cities
wiki page: “Coordinates: 43°42′N 79°24′W”)
-
Join the Open Data Day mailing list<https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-data-day>.
Organizers tend to share best practices and tips here. It’s not serious,
really just a help and support group. Check out resources like this<http://okfn.org/events/handbook/>and
this <http://michellethorne.cc/2012/01/mozilla-event-menu-lite/> about
how to organize a successful event.
-
Start spreading the news!
d) i want to help more! how can open data day work more smoothly everywhere?
Okay, for the truly hardcore of you: right, we need help. Open Data day has
grown. This means we’ve outgrown a whole bunch of our infrastructure… like
our webpage! Everyone involved in this is a volunteer so… we have some
extra heavy lifting we need help with. This includes:
-
*a. Website template update*: The current Open Data Day template was
generously donated by Mark Dunkley (thank you!). We’d love to have it scale
a little better and refresh the content. You can see the code on GitHub
here <https://github.com/okfn/opendataday.org>. Email me if you are
interested <david at eaves.ca?Subject=Open%20Data520Day>. Skills required:
CSS, design
-
*b. Translation*: Can you help translate the ODD site into your
language? You can submit the requests on GitHub<https://github.com/okfn/opendataday.org>or send a document to Heather
Leson <heather.leson at okfn.org?Subject=Open%20Data520Day> with the
content. She’ll do the GitHub stuff if that’s beyond you.
-
*c. Map*: Leaflet and layers helpers wanted! We’d like a map geek to
help correct geolocation and keep the 2014 map<http://opendataday.org/map/>fresh with accurate geo for all the locations. GitHub
repo is here <https://github.com/okfn/opendataday.org/tree/gh-pages/map>and the event
list is here<https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgWnIWeQjA0AdFZlTnlKbTdQbDFHMVpROG9FUldXcVE&usp=drive_web#gid=0>
.
What’s next?
I’m really looking forward to this year… I’ve lots more thoughts I’ll be
sharing shortly.
Plus, I can’t wait to hear from you!
