GovHack Canberra Encore (postponed)
This has not generated enough interest (excitement?) so we have decide to postpone the invitation and let the teams work on their Mashup Australia entries.
We'll reassess the opportunity to have a follow-up event centered on these entries and have more time to properly advertise it to a wider audience.
Teams who have initially responded:
- Rate-a-Loo - Mashup Australia entry
- StatNerds - working on displaying statistical info in new and interesting ways.
- LobbyClue
Check list to prepare your Mashup Australia entry
Criteria used in past and present mashup competitions e.g. http://mashupawards.com/criteria/
- Uniqueness
- Creativity
- Utility
- Content
- User Experience
Ongoing mashup competition: http://mashable.com/owa/
Other things to precise in the entry form
- Use the categories defined by the Mashup Australia web site (which are resources categories)
- Also use the top mashups categories from programmableweb
- Give credits to the third party tools you use
In the text, highlight the mashup strengths of your entry
- how many different datasets have you linked?
- is your mashup mashable?
- do you use other sources of open data e.g. OpenStreetMap?
And insist on its added value
- Linked data
- Discoverable
- Display as map
- User-sourced data
- Composable / Pipe-able models
- Mashable mashups
