Open Data - Technically
data (e.g. temperature measurements, bus times, immigrants per neighbourhood)
free to use, free to share, for any purpose (including commercial)

Open Data - community
Actually using Open Data, turning spreadsheets into charts, maps, websites, analysis – this is a group effort
Many skillsets:codingstorytellingvisualizationanalysis

Hackathon A hackathon is an intense effort to think
about how the available data and tools might produce interesting results, and do quick demos
Expect:discussions, brainstorming, creativitysketches, storiesvery basic proof-of-concept code (e.g. a web
page) experimenting with an ideamaking amazing connections for future projects

Pitch
small problems with a compelling story are best
remember you’re trying to attract people to volunteer to work on your idea – what will motivate them?
make it fun
