Dear members of the association

With the announcement of the pilot portal Opendata.admin.ch, the open data year 2013 was a very successful one that attracted a great deal of media attention. The fact that OKCon in Geneva (September 2013) drew the attention of international open data circles to Switzerland can also be celebrated as a success. At present, almost all the parties involved are pulling together in the direction of open data.

We invite you to the second ordinary General Assembly of the Opendata.ch association to revive our shared memories of the past association year and to get an outlook on the new one. The assembly takes place in the Blue Hall on the first floor of the Volkshaus Zürich, during the lunch break of the conference.

This year it is embedded in the conference Opendata.ch/2014, which has almost become a tradition and takes place in Zurich with exciting speakers on interesting topics. Members of Opendata.ch benefit from reduced admission prices.

With summery greetings
Muriel Staub
on behalf of the Opendata.ch board
