About

Open Data Ireland was set up with the purpose of helping citizens access
high value, meaningful machine readable data sets generated by the Irish
Government. This community meetup will bring together people who are
passionate about sharing, learning, using and progressing Open Data in
Ireland.

If you work in public or private sectors, if you're a developer, designer,
journalist, academic, policy maker, creative thinker, civil servant,
entrepreneur or just an Average Joe, you're more than welcome to join us,
contribute and participate.

Open Data needs creative people like you. You don’t have to be a tech
genius, you just need an interest in open data and a willingness to get
stuck in. We meet in a professional office space and have regular meet-ups
attended by people from all backgrounds (not just IT). This is your
opportunity to learn. Come along. Ask questions. Make suggestions. We can
be a sounding board for your ideas.

The event is co-organised by Open Data Ireland
<http://opendata.ie/>community and Open
Knowledge Foundation - Ireland. <http://irl.okfn.org/> Thanks to TCube
Dublin for hosting this event. Many thanks to all volunteers for their time
and energy!
