In spite of the dampness and cool temperatures, it was actually great running weather for “11th Active Sportshop Firmenlauf” this past Saturday. 52°North showed up with 3 teams for the 5k race. Once again we had some great results! Team 2 came in nineth (or tenth) overall, Team 1 came in 6th among the Women’s Teams and Team 3 finished with an honorable 48th place among the Mixed Teams (see results below)! Congrats to all!!!

52N Days on Juist
Last week, 52°North staff braved the cold, circumvented icy waters and flew to the North Sea island Juist for our yearly retreat. We wracked our brains from thursday through staurday discussing and defining 52°North roadmaps and strategies. We successfully aligned 2012 strategies in the field of Sensor Web and Geoprocessing, as well as in new 52N innovation topics such as Web of Things, Linked Open Data and Augmented Reality. The charms of the local pubs influenced some intrinsically creative natures and resulted in some interesting App ideas! All in all it was a very informative, productive and constructive event. Unfortunately, we were not able to go for a walk in the tidal flats, but Heino our guide gave us a great presentation and converted most of us to nonclam eaters!
Successful HackDay Münster 2011
Ifgi recently hosted Münster’s first HackDay to promote contributions to the nationwide “Apps4DE” competition. Between 40 and 60 hackers and thinkers from Münster met throughout the day to discuss “open data” and come up with ideas for Apps which demonstrate the use of public sector information. An opening presentation by Albert Remke was followed by a series of lightening talks about linked science, linked open data, map Apps and Augmented Reality. After several hours of brainstorming and hacking in small groups, the participants presented resulting ideas and small prototypes such as:
- Family and Recreation App
- App for Open Sensor Data
- Linked open data applications for the Bundestag members and their private activities in the market economy
Several participants also announced that they plan to submit their idea or App as a proposal to the “Apps4DE” competition. In the eyes of the particpants, the Münster HackDay – one in a series of Hackdays promoted by the Open Knowledge Foundation – proved to be a highly successful event!
