Come along to the next Edinburgh Open Data Meet-up, to share our projects and ideas around open data. The next #OpenDataEDB is a special occasion, since we are very fortunate that Rufus Pollock, founder of the Open Knowledge Foundation, will be joining us and giving a talk.
Open Knowledge Foundation Meet-ups are friendly and informal evenings for people to get together to share and argue all areas of openness. Come and join discussions around open knowledge and open data -- from politics and philosophy to practicalities of theory and practice. Information about some of our past meet-ups can be found at scot.okfn.org.
Talk schedule:
* Introduction to the Open Knowledge Foundation - Rufus Pollock - rufuspollock.org
* How do you solve a problem like <strikethrough>Maria</strikethrough>String Matching? - Gill Hamilton - digital.nls.uk
* An independent space for Open Data? - Ally Tibbitt - edinbuzz.org.uk
