As a member of the Regional Development Australia Goldfields-Esperance Committee, I have been asked to judge Govhack Perth at SpaceCubed. Govhack 2015 runs 3 – 5th July. From www.govhack.org:
“GovHack is an annual open data competition held all over Australia and New Zealand. Teams are eligible for some great prizes, in addition to honour and fame at our Red Carpet Awards.GovHack is about getting our best and brightest, working with government data to innovate and create. It is about encouraging and celebrating our technical and creative capacity, connecting citizens with government for great outcomes, and building upon the social and economic value of open data published by government.In 46 hours teams create a proof of concept and a video that tells the story of how the data can be reused.”
All the data sets are publicly available now and the list is worth a skim. I’m super excited to be honoured with being part of the judging team and I look forward to seeing what all the creative teams build.
