The city of Rome is organizing workshops on 8,9 and 10 November to start the path towards making Rome an Open Data City.
This event is the first stage of a larger project.

Participation is possible in two ways:

By attending the work sessions on November 8th and 9th. During these sessions groups will work on designing ideas or applications with the help of experts present.
By using the session on 8 November to collect some data, and then work on ideas remotely.

On November 10th during a closing event awards will be handed out for the best app ideas. In summary it is two workshops and a mini-competition, to further ignite the open data discussion in Rome.

As places are limited, those who want to participate are invited to register. Participation in the event is free. Watch opendata.comune.roma.it for more information as the project evolves.
