Open Data Meetup - Christchurch

Stats NZ

<H3>What we’re about:</H3>
<P>Open Data in NZ Meetups are for sharing the passion and success around the release of open data with like-minded people. Open Data in NZ Meetups are also a great opportunity to participate and have your say around government decision-making surrounding open data. Since we’ve had fantastic success with our Open Data community in Wellington, we want to extend and share the same passion and inspiration further a field - now in creating networks both in Auckland and Christchurch.</P>
