                                                           Chad McCallum
                                                           @ChadEmm
                                                           www.rtigger.com
   “Someone who enjoys exploring the details
    of programmable systems and stretching
    their capabilities” – Wikipedia
   Hacker Attributes:
     Passionate
     Hard working
     Creative
     Enjoys what they do
   Creating software and sharing it with the
    community
   Placing a high value on freedom of inquiry
   Information sharing as both an ideal and
    practical strategy
   Combination of Hack and Marathon
   Competition for teams to create “something”
    with a restricted set of resources
   Usually has one or more restrictions
     Time
     Subject (language, operating
     system, application, API, subject
     matter, demographic)
   Goal is to demonstrate an idea using software
   A part of the HackDays.ca non-
    profit, volunteer-run organization
   Have organized 2 hackathons with over 30
    attendees and created 30 applications
   Approximately half of those applications
    were created using City of Regina Open Data
   API sponsor for both events
   Helping us spread the word about the event
   Supporting developers with their applications
    after the event
   Promoting open data and developer culture
    in Regina
   Prompt feedback and support with open data
    community
   The idea that data should be freely accessible
    to use and publish
   From many sources, including
    science, GIS, academics, industry, and
    government
   Plays well into the “hacker ethics” of freedom
    of inquiry and information sharing as an ideal
    strategy
   Reducing data query time & overhead
   Private sector investment into dataset
   Company / Government image
   Attracts hackers & business
   Extra set of eyes and hands
   Combine with other data sets to create rich
    applications
   Hackers are people too :P
   HackREGINA appreciates the support from
    the City and looks forward to continuing to
    work with you in the future
   Open data is cost-effective, great for the
    city’s image, and attracts valuable talent
