Project Showcase
The following is a small historic selection of projects started at Make.Opendata.ch events, documented on this wiki, and whose source code and data is open and accessible over the Web. We hope that they will help you get an idea for the possibilities created by opening data to a creative and motivated community.
Next to each project is a link to the corresponding area of our Data wiki where you will find information on such open data sources and activity of the working group, if one exists. If you would like to see more project like this, you should join or help us organise a Hackathon on the corresponding topic.
For more information or if you have any feedback for the developers, please leave a note on our forum. For any other questions send us an e-mail, or talk to a representative of Opendata.ch at the next event.
