Get ready to GovHack: Introducing GovHack & Open Data Requests
Details
GovHack (http://www.govhack.org/about-us/the-story/) is the biggest hackathon in the southern hemisphere focusing on creative uses of government published open data.
In the lead up to GovHack (https://www.govhack.org/) we will run some preparatory events to help people get across open data and encourage more women into GovHack. We'll hear from seasoned GovHack organiser & Founder of HackAus (https://www.facebook.com/groups/hackathonsaustralia/), Angela Bee Chan (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/defining-your-hackathon-objectives-angela-bee-chan), who will introduce us to the competition, it's history, aims & how you can make the most of it.
Rosie Williams will follow up with an overview of how to ask government to open a dataset (https://whistleblower.network/2017/03/22/open-data-twitter-storm/).
