10. Where will we go
• Hopefully make our voice heard
• Enrich dataset with open data from local
administrations
• Show that data can be unified instead of
fragmented

11. Where did we start
from
• A simple idea, an everyday problem
“Where do we recycle correctly?”
• That was related to environment
• ... but it may also be also an Industry problem

12. Have a look around
first!
• Is your app/website/whatever already on the
market?
• If so, can you contribute instead of “fighting”
it? (Maybe it’s even open source!)
We are against fragmentation
