#OpenDataHack @ECMWF - Beyond weather: explore creative uses of open data
Description changed:
Developers, experts, students, data wranglers, data journalists, data enthusiasts, makers, artists – you are invited to join the meteorologists, scientists and engineers of ECMWF at our #OpenDataHack on 4 and 5 March 2017.
As part of our activities, including the recently-added EU-funded Copernicus services on climate and atmospheric monitoring, we have collected and created vast quantities of global environmental data.
Spend a weekend with us to make and demo prototypes for new services and products.
Make practical apps for travellers or growers, or build educational and playful tools for the young and young at heart. We want to see you do amazing things with ECMWF open data.
All attendees, sponsors, partners, volunteers and staff at our hackathon are required to agree with the following code of conduct.
Be Respectful. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and racist, sexist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate. Photography is encouraged, but other participants must be given a reasonable chance to opt out from being photographed.
Be Thoughtful. Consider and respect other people's opinions and beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their point of view and a diverse range of opinions and perspectives is one thing that allows us to create such innovative solutions at a rapid pace.
Be Open. We welcome attendees from all backgrounds and a hackathon is a great opportunity for learning and meeting new people. Be friendly, welcome and open with your fellow participants. Share your knowledge, expertise and opinions, and embrace those of other people. Consider open source licensing and use of open data and how code you are writing could be reused.
Be Awesome. Do your best and believe in yourself. A hackathon is an incredible experience for people of any ability level; everyone can make a valuable contribution. Not every project will be successful, but ideas that you believe in are worth trying. You could change the world, and if every one project that we build helps someone, saves a life or makes a positive difference, we have succeeded.
