[open-government] [euopendata] Idea: screen scraping sprint

Fri Oct 1 16:12:43 UTC 2010

A worldwide "reclaim your data" event?

I like the approach, but it might be seen as a bit aggressive, don't you
think? In any case, I think open-data activists in France would be
interested in this. We have an opendata camp coming up, I'll pitch the idea
to the organizers.
