Open Source + Open Data = WIN. Come along to meet other open data afficionadoes from a range of projects, and learn how to use open data in your applications.

Examples of open data include: Freebase, Open Street Maps, data.gov, the Open Library Project, MusicBrainz, linked open data, and anything that allows you to access structured data — via an API or in bulk — under an open license or similarly permissive terms of service.
