[School-of-data] Open Data Maker Night - London - Tuesday 30th April 6-9pm

Mon Apr 29 15:20:29 UTC 2013

Hi All (and apologies for any cross-posting),

The 2nd London Open Data Maker Night will take place *tomorrow* (Tuesday):

http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/London-GB/934432/

- When: Tuesday 30th April 6pm-9pm (drop in any time)
- Where: Centre for Creative Collaboration, 16 Acton Street London
- Informal sign up:
<http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/London-GB/934432/>
- What: This will be an informal event focused on "making" with open
data -- whether that's creating apps or insights.
- Who: all welcome. You don't need to be a geek or an expert to
participate - an interest and a willingness to get your hands dirty
(digitally) making something is all that is needed.

I'd also like to note that last week saw an Open Data Maker nights in
Birmingham organized by Gavin Broughton
(<http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/Birmingham-GB/907622/>)
and the previous week one in Vienna at the MetaLab.

The nights are super-informal and really easy to organize - just pick
a night, boot a meetup page at
http://www.meetup.com/OpenKnowledgeFoundation/ (anyone can do this!),
copy and paste the what + who and you are away!

Regards,

Rufus

### What

This will be an informal event focused on "making" with open data --
whether that's creating apps or insights. It won't be a general meetup
-- if you come, expect to get pulled into actually building something,
though we won't force you ;-)!

### Who

You don't need to be a geek or an expert to participate - an interest
and a willingness to get your hands dirty (digitally) making something
is all that is needed. If you already have an idea or a problem you'd
like to solve or investigate that's even better!
