CARYNC2013

Cary Open Data Day 2013
Cary, North Carolina is participating in the 2013 Open Data Day Hackathon.

This will be the region's first open data day hackathon. The efforts this year will focus on finding, surfacing, and consuming government data from any level (local, state, federal).

You don't need any particular skills to contribute to or benefit from this hackathon. Not all data will be exposed through an API or in a machine-readable format so skills in searching for data, parsing it, and constructing data stores (relational or document databases) are useful in addition to pure coding chops. UI/UX people can contribute with presenting and visualizing data, but it is conceivable that many efforts started on the day may not reach this stage.

Some attendees may arrive with projects underway and looking for input and assistance from others, and others will turn up just looking for new ideas of what to build. All are welcome.

More information is available at this event's official website and registration is now open!
