Open Data Around the World

Edits welcome!

= Open Data Day = First off we are thrilled you've ended up here. This is place where we are inviting people to come to list an event they'll be hosting on International Open Data Day 04 March 2017.

It is also a place where attendees can note that they'll be attending, share projects they hope to work on, data sets they think are interesting (or data sets they want to scrape), workshops you'd like to put on. Open Data Day can be online or in person. It can be a hack day or a policy talk. It is yours to make.
