[open-government] Open Data Challenge: what next for open data?

[Jonathan Gray]

Hi all,

As many of you will know, the EU Open Data Challenge is now open for
entries, with €20,000 worth of prizes:

  http://opendatachallenge.org/

I'd like to use this as any opportunity to ask everyone:

  * What kinds of things do you hope will be entered into the competition?
  * What kinds of things should be taken in account to help pick the winners?
  * What kinds of apps/services/etc would you like to see using open data?
  * Areas of opportunity or potential innovation, where we have not
yet seen much activity?
  * What kinds of problems could open data be used to solve?

I'm going to compile a bunch of the snappiest sexiest quotes for the
OKF blog on these topics, to inspire people thinking of entering, and
- more importantly - to get more people thinking and talking about how
we can use open data to do useful interesting stuff. ;-)

J.
