[open-data-day] Open Data Day was great

Wed Feb 27 15:25:26 GMT 2013

Hi all,

Government in Taiwan released "Regulation on Open Data Initiatives" on Open
Data Day and texts are available in Chinese:
http://law.rdec.gov.tw/law/NewsContent.aspx?id=218

The event at Taipei was fully booked in less than 2 days (150 tickets) and
was completely organized online. Coders, designers, citizens, researchers,
public servants and representatives from private interest groups had
gathered and worked on some really interesting stuff. Two workshops were
also hosted - OSM and the R respectively.

Few more detail (if there's any Chinese readers here) please check:

Thanks for the inspiration from other cities.
