Hi all, This is a shameless copy of the mail Richard Zulu sent to the Hackers/Hack mailinglist. For all programmers: we are going to show some very neat stuff on how to generate HTML code to create maps based on OpenData using OpenLayers.
I hope all is well and fine. I am writing to inform you about our next Hacks Hackers Meet next week Saturday, 23rd February 2012 to take place at Outbox<http://www.outbox.co.ug> For the next session, we are going to be working together with the Open development Group http://opendev.ug/ in Uganda to hold an event around the open data day. http://opendataday.org/ The focus of the next meet-up will be on how Journalists can use Open data to create and tell really compelling stories.
