Open Data Camp UK is being held February 21st and 22nd in Winchester. It’s an event with:

  • an unconference
  • story-telling
  • making stuff
  • networking
  • cake

Good stuff indeed. And if you want to hear more about the benefits of linking local open data, we have some great speakers confirmed for our event in April who have practical experience of publishing and applying open data. Register your interest here.
