Hey Everybodeee!  Just in case you didn't hear me wax enthusiastic
about it at the last KWLUG meeting, there's an Open Data Day Event at
Kwartzlab on Saturday.  We're planning some presentations, some demos,
and the opening of a brand new City of Kitchener data catalogue!  Oh,
and there'll be coding/hacking/breaking and fixing of apps too.

*Event*: Open Data Day Hackathon
*Date*: Saturday, 22 February 2014
*Time*: 10:00am to 4:30pm
*Location*: Kwartzlab Makerspace, 33 Kent Avenue, Kitchener, Ontario
*Map*: http://osm.org/go/ZXnwY4HA?m=&way=199095014
*Register*: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2705/detail (optional)
*Organizer*: OpenData Waterloo Region http://opendatawr.ca
*More Info*: http://wiki.opendataday.org/Waterloo_Region

I'm hoping we'll have enough people at lunch to order out for Chinese
food -- Tony at Egg Roll King says making Dinner For Ten will be no
problem...



There's an equivalent event in Guelph that goes for 24 hours! And they
have contests and prizes:
