[open-government] Fwd: Switzerland - Make.opendata.ch Hackathon

Mon Aug 29 18:40:24 UTC 2011

Indeed, very good to see hackcamps in Switzerland, as a follow up to the
great conference they had shortly before the summer. Earlier today I also
posted it to the epsiplatform.eu

best,

PS: Got interesting news about Open Data or Public Service Information (PSI)
and its reuse? Let me know! I'm the community steward at ePSIplatform.eu and
always looking for your initiatives, news and events to present on the
platform.
