Apps For Flanders
0 likes431 views
The document summarizes the activities of OKFN Belgium, including launching a local chapter, developing apps for Flemish cities and services using open data. It outlines upcoming events like a student hackathon in September and the iRail Summer of Code. It notes that some open data quality is currently low and discusses making data more open by removing access restrictions. Three apps were chosen as winners of a hackathon: an air quality API, a city comparison app, and multiplatform geoapps. The document credits stock photos and acknowledges organizations.
