<h1>Better tools. More data. Bigger Fun.<br>
<small>The 2013 Open Data Day Hackathon is coming February 23rd.</small></h1>
<h2>You're Invited. Again.</h2>
<br>
<br>
<h3> The last year has seen open data continue to gain traction around the world with new open data catalogs launched in Europe, North America and Africa and more data than ever available from organizations like the World Bank. Let's see what interesting things we can do with it.</h3>
</div><!-- .block -->
<div id="what" name="what" class="block">
<h2>What is this?</h2>
<div class='col-9 last'>
<p style="font-size: 110%">It’s a gathering of citizens in cities around the world to write <strong>applications</strong>, <strong>liberate</strong> data, create <strong>visualizations</strong> and publish <strong>analyses</strong> using open public data to show support for and encourage the adoption open data policies by the world's local, regional and national governments.</p>

<h2>Who is this event for?</h2><br>
<h3>Everyone</h3><br>
<div class='col-9 last'>
<p style="font-size: 110%">If you have an idea for using open data, want to fina an interesting project to contribute towards, learn about how to visualize or analyze data or simply want to see what's happening, then definitely come participate! No matter your skillset or interests, we are encouraging organizers to foster opportunities for you to learn and help the global open data community grow.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-4-5">
<h3><img src="images/icon-dev.png" width="26" height="27" alt="Icon Dev" /> Developers</h3>
<p>We need computer cowboys and cowgirls like yourself to wrangle data into something useful. That means visualization, notification, integration, etc., all in the name of doing something crazy and fantastic.</p>
</div><!-- .col-4-5 -->
<div class="col-4-5 last">
<h3><img src="images/icon-designer.png" alt="Icon Designer" /> Designers</h3>
<p>We need people like you to make the everything look amazing, feel intuitive, and have a smooth user experience. The best application in the world that no one can use... isn't much use! You know the drill.</p><br><br>

<h3><img src="images/icon-library.png" width="18" height="27" alt="Icon Library" /> Librarians</h3>
<p>I heard you folks like books and eat catalogs of data for breakfast. You beautiful people are going to scour the earth for interesting data, help the rest of us figure out what’s important, and generally be useful. </p>
</div><!-- .col-3 -->
<div class="col-3">
<h3><img src="images/icon-stats.png" width="23" height="27" alt="Icon Stats" /> Statisticians</h3>
<p>YES! YOU ARE SO NEEDED. Seriously. While we can find it, blow it up, calculate it, and make it look pretty, we needs us some mean number crunchin’ to present meaningful visualizations. Join up.</p>

<h2 id="hackfest" style="font-weight:bold; font-size:101px; margin-bottom:20px">How Will It Work?</h2>
<div class="col-6">
<h3>How is this going to work?</h3>
<p>These hackathons, like small pieces, will be loosely joined by <em>5 basic principles</em>.</p>
<h4>It will happen on Saturday, February 23rd</h4>
<p>It can be as big or as small, as long or as short, as you'd like it.</p>
<h4>It should be open</h4>
<p>Ottawa's open data community attracts a diverse crowd of people to hackathons, with whole families coming out. In the UK <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/rorycellanjones/2010/09/isabells_idea_proving_green_gi.html">groups have done amazing work getting young and diverse group hacking</a>. Veteran hackers have <a href="http://nathan.torkington.com/blog/2010/09/16/nzcs-demographics-talk/">said it over and over again</a>: Our movement is stronger when it is broader.</p>
<h4>Anyone can organize a local event</h4>
<p>Want to help organize one in your city and/or participate? Add your name to the relevant city on <a href="http://wiki.opendataday.org/">the wiki</a>. Let's try to keep it to one event per city, build some community and get new people together.</p>
<h4>You can hack on anything that involves open data</h4>
<p>Could be a local or global app, a visualization, proposing a standard for common data sets, scraping data from a government website to make it available for others or even creating your own data catalog of government data.</p>
<h4>Let's share ideas across cities on the day</h4>
<p>Each city's hackathon should do at least one demo, brainstorm, proposal, or anything that it shares in an interactive way with at members of a hackathon in at least one other city. This could be via video stream, skype, by chat... anything but let's get to know one another and share what we are hacking on. There may be some challenges to making this work: timezones, languages, culture... but who cares, we are problem solvers, let's make it work.</p>
<p>Again, let's not try to boil the ocean. Let's have a bunch of events, where people care enough to organize them, and try to link them together with a simple short connection/presentation. Above all let's raise some awareness, create something, and have some fun.</p>
<h3>What to Expect</h3>
<p>A lot will be going on. So... expect to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn more about open data.</li>
<li>Find out how your local and national government could do more to release open data.</li>
<li>Engage local non-profits and companies in the uses of open data for the products and missions</li>
<li>Meet & network with tons of cool people in your city and around the world.<br /></li>
<li>Voice your opinion & share your ideas with the people and media attending.</li>
<li>Find out about apps being created, and get to play around with them as well.</li>
<li>Help out with parts of the conceptualization, creation, design, advertisement and testing of apps.</li>
<li>Conduct an open tutorial sessions around using open data,like learning how to customize google maps to show the data you want to show.</li>
<li>Have lots and lots of fun.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>What to Bring</h3>
<p>Anything! Bring your laptops, mobile phones, phasers set to stun, etc. but above all, your energy and your brains!
We’re trying to make this event very hands on, so feel free to bring all
your wacky geektronics so that you can participate in all the fun. Don't worry if you don’t bring anything since there will still be tons of stuff to do.</p>
