Open Data Day Guiding principles

Organizing an Open Data Day Event is pretty easy. Just follow these principles.

Date: It should take place on March 5, 2016

Duration: As much a you would like - It can be an hour or a whole day event.

Open: Anyone can organize a local event, and anyone can come and participate. The aim is to expose more people to open data and its benefits.

Collaborative: Try to make one event per city. Collaborate with other Open Data groups in order to attract more people and ideas.

Free: Don't charge for the event itself. This will allow more people to be able to come to the event.

Any activity: Do not limit yourself to hackathons or talks; edit-a-thons, icon-a-thons, map-a-thons, and archiving are examples of moving beyond/away from hackathons. Any activities that you think can help to advocate for open data are welcome.
