[open-government] [ckan-discuss] Global Open Data

Fri Oct 29 11:27:00 UTC 2010

Hello OpenGovernment folks!

I'm a little confused by the last comment about 'dovetailing' the Global Open Data (GOD) Hackathon with the Random Hacks of Kindness (RHOK) hackathon. Is your plan to

a) Run GOD (4th December) on the same date as RHOK (4th-5th December), but independent from RHOK
b) Run GOD on the same date as RHOK, and coordinating with it
c) Run GOD as part of RHOK
d) or run GOD on a completely different date to RHOK (in which case sign me up please!).

Speaking selfishly as someone who is about to start reaching out to potential RHOK team members, the more hackers, designers etc that are available to RHOK the better, and it might also be useful to have a place to put ideas that fit open data but don't quite fit into RHOK. 

I've cc'd one of the RHOK organisers here - I suggest you get your heads together and make this thing even more awesome than it's threatening to be already!

Sj.
