We have a speaker this month: Deirdre Lee
(18:30) Talk Title: "What did Open Data ever do for me?"
There's a lot of talk about Open Data - government agencies publishing their information for anyone to use...but is it useful? During this talk I'll give a whirlwind tour of what Open Data is, how it's being used in real-world applications both in Ireland and further afield, and what Open Data is available that you can start using now! Before the talk, have a look at the Open Data Portal https://data.gov.ie
Don't forget to bring your laptops, this is a FREE event and is OPEN to EVERYONE at ALL LEVELS. :-)
