New opendata contest for Ottawa coming!

Another open-data contest is planned as the city looks to improve the way it offers raw information that developers can use to make helpful apps.

…

The app contest is expected to be held early next year and further details are expected at a future meeting.

The city held its first app contest in 2010-2011 after starting an open-data policy centred on the philosophy that certain city-collected and managed data should be readily available to anyone, in a “machine-readable” format, without copyright restrictions, patents or other controls on its use.

Fishing on the Rideau River

At a place called Black Rapids – Lock 13.  Fish weren’t biting at much but I did get this early in the day.
