Open Data Challenge
Desafio Dados Abertos was the first hackathon created by Sao Paulo's House of Representatives (CMSP), in 2012, following the House's Open Data Plan. The goal of Desafio Dados Abertos was to promote and incentivize the use of governmental open data, especially solutions that would simplify the information to citizens. Desafios Dados Abertos was a partnership among the House of Representatives and the Open Knowledge Foundation Brasil (OKFn Brasil), the World Wide Web Consortium Brasil (W3C Brasil). 50 hacking teams applied to participate and camped at the plenary for 2 nights. Citizens could vote on the solutions presented to enhance openness and transparency of the public and the popular vote accounted for 25% of the final evaluation. A Commission composed by the OKFn Brasil, the W3C Brasil and the CMSP selected the final solutions. From the 9 finalists, 3 received money prizes and all the apps developed within this first hackathon were open source and available on the House of Representative's website.
