Hack de Overheid is organizing a full day of coding in Amsterdam:

"We’ll be spending Saturday, the 26th of November doing a classic Hack de Overheid hack day, but bigger and better than ever before.

As a part of the Apps voor Nederland competition we will be bringing people together from various fields, both technical and non-technical to hack on any (open) data problems that interest them. During the day new datasets will be released and there will be the opportunity to work and to interact with others during workshops. We will also have presentations by invited speakers and of the concepts developed during the day."

The event takes place on November 26th, 10:00 – 21:00

Speakers:

Matt Biddulph: Former BBC, Dopplr and now at Nokia. Read up on his work at Hack Diary among other places. Matt has programmed pretty much everything under the sun and we are very impressed with his experience and broadness of practice, combined with his eagerness to try out new things.

Marius Watz: An artist working working on the synthesis of form as the product of parametric behaviors. Marius’s work is vivid and abstract and shows how parameters and data can come alive under the right hands. He will be showing us the things he has made and how we could endeavour to create the same.
