Whether you’ve registered to attend the event or not, here are three things you can do right now to make Open Data Day awesome:

1. Submit your ideas for projects you want to work on

Do you have an idea of what you’d like to work on during the event? Share it on the homepage of the event website (http://opendataday.co.ke/) and fill in the Google form at the bottom of the page. You can also see the list of submitted projects here: http://opendataday.co.ke/project-ideas

3. Sharing is caring

Spread the word about Open Data Day! Let’s get others to participate by publicising this information. The official hashtags for the event are #ODD14 and #ODDKenya, with specific cities also tweeting on #ODDKisumu, #ODDNairobi and #ODDMombasa.

Looking forward to Saturday!
