The OpenAustralia Foundation and Google invite you to this free all-weekend hacking extravaganza at the Google Sydney offices for anyone interested in creating a mashup for the MashupAustralia competition or hacking on the OpenAustralia website.
OpenAustralia.org is Australia's first eDemocracy website, making it easier for people to keep track of what their representatives are saying in parliament by republishing Hansard in an easier to use form. The MashupAustralia competition[0] is a recently announced initiative of the Government 2.0 Taskforce[1], asking the community to create mashups of public sector information that has recently been released to show the benefits of open access to this data. Please see our hackfest site more information and to register! http://hackfest.openaustralia.org/ Thanks, Henare and the OpenAustralia Team Ps. Don't forget to tag your tweets, posts and photos with the OpenAustralia Hackfest tag #oahack.
