Code for NYC, Open Data Day 2013
Currently, ODD is being organized by Open NY Forum.

On 23 Feb, we will celebrate the venn diagram of Code for America's Code Across America and International Open Data Day.

For this day, we will have a little bit for everyone. The day will be broken down into three tracks.
 * A mini-race for reuse. Take Code For America's Open Source apps and tailor them to NYC.
 * Idea-a-thon! Look at NYC's Data Mine and prototype apps off of Gov data.
 * Planning the future of NYC's Internet access, Education Policy, Open Government, and Technology Industry Policy, via NYTM's Policy Discussion.

Event Partners:
 * NYC DOITT
 * Code For America's Brigade

NYC Occupy Sandy Data Project
Take the day off, and help promote open knowledge! The goal of the International Open Data Day's Occupy Sandy Data Project on Feb. 23rd is to digitize and preprocess Occupy Sandy data, and to begin exploratory analysis.

The following week (March 1,2) there will be an NYC Occupy Data Hackathon where participants can dive deeper into the data. There will be other data sets to work with too, and participants are free to bring their own data and ideas.

Location: the group will be meeting at the CUNY Graduate Center on 365 Fifth Ave (corner of 34th St and 5th Ave), room 5409 from 12-6PM. If you are interested in attending, please place your name and email address on the registration form linked below so we can add you to the visistor list. Any questions?
