A good turnout for a Sunday morning, as we get ready for the pitches. But we have someone significant here…

And we’re off…

The Pitches

  • Why map open data? What do you get out of it? What data sources do you use?
  • Create a shared doc about the reasons people don’t use open data – and solutions
