Hi Melvin,
You might be interested in the LinkedUp project
(http://linkedup-project.eu) which aims to push forward the exploitation
of public, open data available on the Web, in particular by educational
institutions and organizations. One of the ways it is doing this is
through 3 competitions - which make up the LinkedUp challenge
(http://linkedup-challenge.org). Hopefully some interesting open source
tools will come out of those competitions. The project is EU funded but
the competition is open to all.
There is a developer blog available (http://developer.linkedin.com/blog)
and also a catalogue of data sets
(http://data.linkededucation.org/linkedup/catalog/).
Thanks
Marieke

Some people on this list are involved with lod2 [1], a european
initiative to promote open source and linked data. I was wondering if
anyone knew if there were any other world wide projects of a similar
nature, with a focus on creating open source software.
