Hi everyone, GovHack is happening all around the country on July 3-5. We have finalised the prizes, which may be an incentive to paticipate. GovHack is about getting our best and brightest around the country working with government data to innovate and create. It is about encouraging and celebrating our technical and creative capacity, connecting citizens with government for great outcomes, and building upon the social and economic value of open data published by government. http://govhack.org.nz The event requires small teams of competitors to produce any kind of “hack” using government data in 46 hours, from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon (3-5 July). The format of a “hack” is unspecified, but the most common are web applications, mobile applications, or visualisations. There is a prize pool of over $30,000, with first place prizes of $3,000 for Best Open Government, Best Data Journalism and Best Business/Entrepreneurship. The important thing is to learn how to better use Government Data in our everyday lives, to leverage it to provide benefits to our communities, and to better inform us about the facts that underpin Government policy. The venues will have Wifi and food, all you need bring is a computer and the will to contribute and win. Register on the web site above to participate. ―― View topic http://groups.open.org.nz/r/topic/2ShXoe0aDc7o7QeZvRn7Pg Leave group mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Unsubscribe Start groups https://OnlineGroups.net ―― View topic http://groups.dowire.org/r/topic/5F4e6xk04cwg7HyqgX96A5 Leave group mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Unsubscribe
