[Andrew Mackenzie]

Saturday 22nd is Open Data Day around the world.
In Birmingham Open Mercia are running an event to collect and add data to a community regional datastore.

We hope some Mappa Mercia people can come. With your help we hope to see OpenStreetMap used to display open data.

Example data available on the day: 
Spending data with cost codes
Birmingham budget
FOI data requests to public authorities

Location data
Buildings owned by BCC 
Businesses in Birmingham
School location data
Fast food outlets location 
Environment data for waste disposal
