On Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 17:00 in Moscow in the club Pir O.I.I. on Sretenka at the address: Sretenka Street d.26 / 1 ( http://maps.yandex.ru/-/CBQLMOl. ) there will be an announcement of the contest Apps4Russia.
Apps4Russia ( www.apps4russia.ru ) is a competition for creating projects based on open data and data collected from citizens, the so-called crowdsourcing. Projects created for public benefit, solving various problems, ensuring greater transparency of the state and organizing citizens to solve problems “with the whole world”.
The basis of the competition, open data, is one of the most relevant and popular topics in the field of openness of the state. Open data is disclosed by various states and international organizations around the world. Special portals for open data are created by US governments ( http://www.data.gov )., Singapore ( http://data.gov.sg/ ), UK ( http://data.gov.uk ), European Union ( http://publicdata.eu/ ) and other countries. Portals on open data have the UN and the World Bank.
