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 http://scot.okfn.org.
Talk schedule:
* Introduction to the Open Knowledge Foundation - Rufus Pollock - http://rufuspollock.org
* How do you solve a problem like <strikethrough>Maria</strikethrough>String Matching? - Gill Hamilton - http://digital.nls.uk
* An independent space for Open Data? - Ally Tibbitt - http://edinbuzz.org.uk
* Understanding the data you create - Leah Lockhart - http://www.project-ginsberg.com
* Mapping Communities with OpenStreetMap - Tim Foster - http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Hawkeye
