UnLondon

The City of London, in partnership with UnLondon is holding a Open Data contest and we want you there to help us kick it off!

Using data from City of London budgets build an app (website, infographic, visualization or mobile app) that makes it easier for the public to know what’s going on at City Hall during the 2012 budget process.

On Thursday, November 10th come join us at the APK Live for a “Silicon Valley” inspired night of food and entertainment. We’ve got some awesome DJs lined up, and enough food and drinks to keep you coding all weekend!

• Beverages sponsored by Red Bull
• Ian Doig Phaneuf performing Metropolis
• Art installation by Stephane Mohammed
• Projection artist mrghosty
• Hors d’Oeuvres and Food Art installations
• …. and more!

We’ll be announcing over $5,000 in prize money (Including some really great in-kind prizes) so this is definitally something you don’t want to miss!

Some friends of ours over at Big Blue Bubble will be making a crowd-sourced game onsite at DIG 2011.  Folks can submit their ideas and BBB will build a game!  And, the game will belong to the individual who submitted the idea! More info below and on the DIG site.
