Rewired State: National Hack the Government Day
What? Hack the Government Day? We’ve heard a rumour that we’re not very good at computers.
If you want to spend a day mashing up data with other developers we recommend you sign up and attend this event. It’s going to be held in London on 7th March 2009 at the Guardian offices in Kings Place. We intend to add to the wiki of data sources being provided on the day.
To find out more (and sign up) go to rewiredstate.org. We look forward to the results!
