Free – City Hall, Champlain Room
Open Data Hackfest Ottawa from RDV Productions on Vimeo.
== Tell me more! ==
As population densities increase, neighbours stop talking and start becoming estranged. Isn’t that weird and interesting?
Join user experience & interaction designers, indie video game developers, musicians, urban planners, citizens, librarians, data wranglers, debutantes and government officials in dreaming up and prototyping ways to change the way we interact with our neighbours using public data. This event is basically a party inside of city hall where we talk, draw on giant pieces of paper and make real, working stuff.
What kind of stuff are we talking about here? Think along the lines of impromptu supper clubs for your block that investigate local eateries and vernisages/gallery openings together. Pull knowledge of new places opening from the city’s health inspection reports and arts & events news streams, push it to a tiny Facebook group, and you’re done! Or are you?
Everyone curious is welcome. No skill sets necessary. Show up curious and we’ll take care of you.
