Open Data Enthusiasts - Introductory Meeting & Brainstorming Session

Open Data Enthusiasts brings together government data holders, private sector data users, and others interested in learning about open data. Each meeting, a government agency leader will showcase a recent open data initiative and provide others an opportunity to give feedback, make suggestions, and ask questions about the project. By working together, the open data community can overcome some of the challenges associated with publishing and using open data.
