Discussion with Sir Tim Video

Jon recorded and edited a video of the discussion on local hosting we had with Tim.

"Convince your government to put their data online"

One of Tim's main message was that government should put all its data online. No matter what format, just upload it. It is public data anyways, owned by the taxpayers.

To illustrate the powers of raw data he mentioned a blogpost by a british government worker who published data about bicycle accidents in the UK.

Event media collection

We're beginning to round up photos and videos from the event. A collection of links to the various media sources can be found on the main Uganda LUG website: http://linux.or.ug
