Citizens Code (citizenscode.org | ideas.citizenscode.org), a group of engaged citizens and domain experts, will be hosting a regional hub for the national CODE Hackathon right here in Fredericton on Feb 20-22.

The event will seek to engage creative citizens to find new ways of engaging with Canada’s Open Data stores which now contains over 200,000 datasets. There are opportunities to participate in all kinds of role, not just for programmers.

See registration details for the event in Fredericton (it is also open to folks to work from home or other locations). This will be a great opportunity for those who are new to Open Data or looking for a better understanding of how it can be leveraged through these types of events.
