Great video summary of the recent Open Data Hackfest in Ottawa. Well worth the watching time. Also a nice summary of Canadian Open Data Action by Jennifer Bell on Visible Government blog that also mentions the Ottawa event.

Canadian open data is gaining momentum...

About Phillip Smith

I'm a consultant. I’ve been consulting in one form or another for more than a decade and a half. I love helping people solve difficult challenges.
I started out as a new media producer. Then I followed my heart and my politics and became an online advocacy specialist. Later, I realized that change is difficult without an independent media, so I started working with publishers.
Now, I focus on news innovation: the technology and ideas that are shaping how users interact with journalism online.
To stay inspired, I like to hang out with really smart, creative, and passionate people, so I help to create spaces that bring them together, like The Awesome Foundation Toronto and Hacks/Hackers Toronto.
I’m intensely curious about the stuff that has a direct impact on my life, from local politics to open data.
In my spare time, I'm a geek. I tinker with Perl and JavaScript.
People ask what the A.D. stands for in phillipadsmith. I tell them it's for "attention to detail."
