Avoimen datan workshoppi Slushissa

Idea Fillarikanavasta liiketoimintana esitettiin julkisesti ensimmäisen kerran noin vuosi sitten Slush Helsinki 2008 tapahtumassa. Vuosi on kulunut, yritys perustettu ja Fillarikanavan beta-versio julkaistu. Myöskin liiketoiminta on kehittynyt ja saanut uusia muotoja. Fillarikanavan ohella HILA Open Oy on keskittynyt vauhdittamaan julkishallinnon datavarantojen avaamista. Huomenna tiistaina järjestettävässä Slush Helsinki 2009 tapahtumassa HILA on esillä paneelikeskustelussa (klo 10-11) ja myöhemmin facilitoimme Opengov työpajaa, johon kutsu alla.

What: Opengov workshop at Slush
When: Tuesday November 3th at 12-15
Where: At Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki, part of the Slush Helsinki Talkoot

Data in digital form is a resource that gets more valuable when more people are using the data. The governmental organizations are biggest data producers. By sharing the data for the companies and private sitizens to use, they can boost the economies. Finland is not yet at the top of the list when speaking about open govermental data, but we have the “Talkoot” and other cultural advantages for openess and collaboration.

Opengov.fi is a ongoing initiative to build a developer friendly catalog of Finnish public sector data sources. Opengov.fi will be the home for a Finnish open data ecosystem: “people with ideas, decition makers, data providers and startups”. We decided to start from the people, thats why the site is not running yet.

One by one we can turn the currently closed data sources to open and create live solutions, new services and businesses based on the data. In this workshop we invite developers, startups and people working in the ministeries and you to give input to the design of the site and the process for opening the Finnish data sources.

• Very early test site: http://test.opengov.fi/

• Suggested process for opening the data:
