Feedback & lessons learned

“Was a great opportunity to try new things and to collaborate with more experienced hackers. I'll definitely be less hesitant to explore open data projects and development projects of my own.”

- #HackUOBiblio participant

“J'ai aimé le contact personnel et les ressources disponibles, ainsi que la liberté en terme d'apprentissage. Les personnes étaient très accueillantes et la communication était efficace. Hackfest était très professionnel et organisé. Le local et l'atmosphère étaient idéals. J'ai apprécié le fait qu'il y avait des gens pour aider. ”

"More examples at the beginning of the session for beginners. It's one thing to read about stuff ahead of time, but it would be nice to actually discuss a few examples and how they were done."

"Optional beginner group with a few learning exercises."

"More interactive workshop, maybe with a how to hack 101."

What's next?

Discussion

What role can the library plan in relation to open data?

A-t-il des outils qui intéressent vos usagers?

Are there areas where we need more support?

Qu'est-ce qui vous empêche de jouer avec les données?

Could datasets you work with be made available?
