2015/City Events

Instructions for Event Organizers
Please add the city where you are organizing your event to the list below. In addition, if you could create a link to a page dedicated to your event, that would be great (please create the page as "CITYNAME2015". This can serve as a place where participants can register, share ideas of what they would like to work on and list any other important information. If you are using an external service for registration - like Eventbrite - please link to it from your event page.


 * Example - If you are unsure what to include on your event page, consider taking a look at the Vancouver page where I've created a simple template. That said, if you want to do something different, feel free to innovate! Just be sure to make it a place where participants are welcome to register, know where to go when and have a sense of what is going to happen on the day.
 * Hackathon How-to - For further instructions on how to run a hackathon take a look at this helpful guide. Also see other types of event formats on the OKF blog.
 * Local Hashtags - After you list your event, optionally add your local event hashtag and other details on this Google Sheet.

Instructions for Event Participants
Please take a look at the list below to see if there is a city near you hosting an open data day event you would like to participate in (in person or virtually!). If there is, please add your name (and perhaps, twitter handle) to the list of participants to give the organizers a sense of the numbers that will be participating. If, by chance there is no event taking place in your city, please consider organizing an event yourself (see instructions above!). And there's always the 2014/Online Events!
