 What

Open Data Maker Nights are fun, informal events focused on “making” with
open data – whether that’s creating apps or insights.

You’re welcome to come along just to chat or find out what’s happening but
don’t be surprised if you get pulled into actually building something!
 Who

The events usually have short introductory talks about specific projects
and suggestions for things to work on – it’s absolutely fine to turn up
knowing nothing about data or openness or tech as, there’ll an activity for
you to help and someone to guide you in contributing!
 Theme for this event

For this Open Data Maker night we’re planning a focus on Frictionless Data
<http://data.okfn.org/> and especially on Data Packages
<http://data.okfn.org/doc/data-package/> and “packaging” up essential
“core” datasets - see this blog post for background
http://okfnlabs.org/blog/2015/01/03/data-curators-wanted-for-core-datasets.html

(As always you are, of course, welcome to come and work on whatever
interests you!)
