Explosions, fast cars, and hot, naked data: <3 from Open Data Ottawa

in Open Data, SC2011, Programming
Speaker: 
Edward Ocampo-Gooding [@edwardog]
Daniel Beauchamp [@pushmatrix]
Event: 
SC2011
Abstract: 

Explosions, fast cars, and hot, naked data.

[Cue screenshot of stuff blowing up around Megan Fox in Transformers, but with her head replaced with Edward’s, Daniel’s, and RMS’s]

Open Data Ottawa co-conspirators Daniel Beauchamp and Edward Ocampo-Gooding will lead you down the path of eXtreme radical awesomeness as the blow your mind, pointing out the coolest new open data apps, data repositories, ideas and their impacts on the human species.

Better yet: we’ll tell you about what’s desperately needed that you, desperado hacker extraordinaire could implement, and proceed to bask in everlasting fame and appreciation by your fellow citizens, pets, and politicians alike.

Seriously though, this is going to be a pretty epic talk. If you’re looking to be filled in on what’s going on in the open data space and are curious about what you could do to make a real difference (and end up working with skilled designers, statisticians, librarians, and bartenders), you want to come to this talk.
