Open data has become a March tradition in the grooves of Pi Day, Summer time or Twitterversary, among more traditional festivities. We have had excellent *.03.* events here over the years, the 03.2017 hackathon organized by @heidi being a shining example. Let’s not let 2021 slide without marking the occasion on Open Data Day: this spring, thanks to geo.admin.ch and cividi.ch, we have a week of mappy virtual escapades to look ahead to!
Just in time for international Open Data Day, numerous new geo-datasets and corresponding web services of the Swiss Confederation (in particular, from the Federal Office of Topography, swisstopo) will be made available free of charge on 01.03.2021. We are cividi - a civic tech startup developing open urban data platforms - organizing a week of virtual activities open to everyone.
Following the official March 1 announcements, we got going with introductions and discussions in our virtual platform and live stream. See you in the space!
Last week shot by with a bang and together with amazing contributors to the event we’ve managed to liven things up a notch. Here are the vital stats, along with a couple of highlights from the weekend finale.
