= General information = Last year's hackathon was a success, so this year we are amping things up a bit. As part of the Open-DAI project for open public data in the EU, Karlshamn municipality together with NetPort Science Park and Blekinge Institute of Technology are organising a full-day hackathon around the theme "Open Karlshamn". The municipality are opening up new data sources for you to play with. There will be keynotes, competitions and prizes. Drinks and snacks are served all day, and we are finishing with a social event.
