So when I first wrote Let's Do an International Open Data Hackathon I thought... maybe they'll be 5 or 6 cities that will want to do one.

Exciting.
So, to celebrate the growing interest we've launched a website and a wiki to help inform people about the open data hackathon and give them a place to register their interest and organize.
That may still be the case, but given the number of visits the blog post experienced and the number of people who registered interest on the etherpad, we may end up with a few more - which would be exciting.
To date people in 33 different cities spanning 16 countries four continents (some really nice guys from India emailed me saying they want to do one, but haven't connected to the wiki yet) have said they are interested in organizing a hackathon in their home town. Will all of these happen? Who knows. But it is great to see that there is so much interest in an issue that represent an important opportunity.
Please, check them out! Feel free to create wiki pages for your cities, to share best practices and ideas on running hackathons, or even just translate materials and content into a parallel page. |
