Why a hackathon roadshow? To facilitate innovation in the cultural heritage sector To nurture a developer community Especially SMEs and “commercial” users of cultural heritage data To reach and engage with users Our ultimate goal at Europeana To show the rewards of Open Data The immediate goal of the hackathons To contribute to the Digital Agenda To have some fun!
