‘spice up your city’
- government data
- tonzijlstra.eu
- tools and skills in the hands of individuals
- government = boring , cities are creative melting pots
- reference to Wikileaks: boring – creating transparency to whom?
- they will need to open up or die (why?)
- one way is: participation + OpenData

- participation=talking or?
- participation can be much more – life!
- when you are actively involved in your neighborhood / livehood
- opening up government data
- big data is very different from small samples
- making this data readable: info’s
- PSI law; opening up data
- Open standards, machine readable, no legal strings attached
- the place to do that is in the place where you live.
- (possibly dangerous?)

- data use is flat. is used flat often.
- when does data become interesting? Dr snow example; combining data sources to find new knowledge.
- but why stop there?
- start adding your own data
- citizens-generated maps of sound in Holland
- competitive edge in data sharing, also big companies
- you could go further still?
- not only inform yourself, but also re-activate yourself
- yet another step further:
- start feeding into devices
- create sensors and actuators with this data
- we need to create a coding data literacy

this post is in Dutch, as the entire conference was held in Dutch, dealing with e-culture in the Netherlands.

Cultuur 3.0 conferentie,
8 april, Club 11, amsterdam.
Virtueel Platvorm.

Introductie
De conferentie cultuur 3.0 wordt geopend door de nieuwe directeur van Virtueel Platform, Floor van Spaendonck, Dick Rijken en Paul Keller (Digitale Pioniers). De openingsboodschap is een trieste: na het nieuws dat Steim, Mediamatic en Waag Society niet meer in aanmerking komen voor subsidie vanuit de gemeente Amsterdam, wordt de Cultuur 3.0 conferentie welhaast en noodkreet naar bestaansrecht.
