Dear Colleagues (and apologies for cross posting)
UK Discovery and the Developer Community Supporting Innovation (DevCSI)
project based at UKOLN are running a global Developer Competition
throughout July 2011 to build open source software applications / tools,
using at least one of our 10 open data sources collected from libraries,
museums and archives.
Enter simply by blogging about your application and emailing the blog
post URI to [log in to unmask] by the deadline of 2359 (your
local time) on Monday 1 August 2011.
What's it about?
UK Discovery is working with libraries, archives and museums to open up
data about their resources for free re-use and aggregation. DevCSI is
working with developers in the education sector, many of who will have
innovative ideas about how to exploit this open data in new applications.
This Developer Competition runs throughout July 2011. It starts on
Monday 4 July – Independence Day, a good day for liberating data - and
closes on Monday 1 August. It’s open to anyone anywhere in the world and
there are several prizes long as you follow the simple rules.
