At the Sydney meetup we talked about Toby (99of9)'s use of ABS data to visual economic factors.
Maybe we could submit that, or something similar, to be in the running for the prize. Winning would be great exposure. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pia Waugh <gre...@pipka.org> Date: Tue, May 8, 2012 at 7:18 AM Subject: [Linux-aus] FYI: GovHack 2012 - Over $30, 000 worth of prize money :) To: LA List <linux-...@lists.linux.org.au> Hi all, Thought this might be of interest to some people.
