Open[Upstate] Data Day
OpenDataDay is an anual, world-wide open data hack-a-thon. OpenUpstate is hosted our 2nd incarnation of OpenDataDay in Greenville at OpenWorks on Saturday, February 21st.
You'll get the opportunity to:
- learn about Open Data and data licensing
- discover open projects and data sources
- code your own (or help other) project using Open Data
Data sources include topics ranging from bus routes to comics, from government spending to video games.
