* Open data day is celebrated at 84 cities internationally on 23rd February as a day to aware people about open data and its importance. We are celebrating this day in Nepal as well. The event is open to everyone. There are various events planned for the day, one of the events is Hackathon.
Open Data Day Hackathon is part of Open Data Day in which the participants are encouraged to write applications, create visualizations using data that are public in such a way that it is useful for the citizens, government and other organizations to understand the data better. There will be prizes for the winners of the hackathon. Resources The Hackathon participants may create application and visualization with the data that are public that are given to them or they may use the data that is open and is of their interest. Since this is a local event, it would be meaningful to use the data relevant to Nepal. A list of available relevant open data will be provided. The data will be available in csv, json or xml format. Location/Schedule Venue: Local Development Training Academy, Jawalakhel, Lalitpur Date: 23rd Feb 2013 Time: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm Registration: Participation is free of charge.
