Open Data day is an annual meetup by Open Data enthusiasts for everybody interested in the potential of data in the information age. If you are interested in using more data, making better use of data or finding more data to use, then join us on Open Data Day in Tallinn.
The event will be held in k-space.ee hackerspace (Akadeemia tee 21/1, 5th floor) on Saturday, 3 March, from 12:00 to 16:00.
Open Data is making progress in Estonia. After establishing Open Knowledge Estonia, we have gathered a lively community and even won state procurement for promoting Open Data. We discuss our plans and have workshops on many different tracks from linked data to freedom of information tools. If you use Facebook, you can find our dedicated event here.
The event is language neutral, which means that we use English wherever possible and the majority of topics will be presented in English. There are no language restrictions for participants for asking questions or making comments: we try to include everybody in the discussions and do ad hoc translation where needed.
You are welcome to pop in to any of our workshops/presentations or just come to meet other people interested in data:
Some additional workshops and presentations are still discussed, so check either here or our Facebook page for the latest program.
If you have an idea for using open data, want to find an interesting project to contribute towards, learn about how to visualise or analyse data or simply want to see what's happening, then definitely come participate! Participation is a core value of Open Data Day, everyone is free to voice their opinions in a constructive manner. No matter your skill-set or interests, we are encouraging organisers to foster opportunities for you to learn and help the global open data community grow.
We need you the most. If it wasn’t for you, this whole thing wouldn’t be happening. We need ideas, cheerleaders, and friends to spread the word.
Your input and context can help us to make government data better. Come converse and learn.
Help us make open data relatable, so more people will use it and understand it.
Use your skills to develop solutions that can help solve important societal issues.
Use your skills to help understand the data and get important insights from it.
