Hi all, I'm emailing to bring your attention to an interesting competition relating to the use of Open Government Data in Europe.
The "Pan European Open Data Challenge" is awarding €20,000 in prizes for ideas, applications, or visualisations which make use of open government data in Europe, and also prizes for new data sets. The competition is open until June 5th 2011. http://opendatachallenge.org/ The competition is being run by the Open Knowledge Foundation http://okfn.org/ Microsoft are supporting this effort by providing access to public data sets in multiple formats http://dev.govdata.eu/DataCatalog/DataSetList Microsoft say that their open data platform """ will make it very easy for a developer to reuse the data within an application whatever is the language or the development tool used. At the moment the platform has 40 datasets, but we are going to upload more from the CKAN catalogs in different countries. Moreover if anyone has specific datasets they would like to see uploaded on the platform for reuse, they can be easily added. """ Submit new data requests here http://dev.govdata.eu/Request/Index/ All the best, Alan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Ireland" group.
