A few weeks back the data.govt.nz team spent the weekend down at the Wellington instalment of this years GovHack hackathon event to help participants find the data they needed to build some great projects.
We also ran a virtual data help desk alongside the great people from the Open Data Programme and Stats NZ. Users could tweet their #datafrustration to us for a quick response. This also has helped us to funnel these data related issues to the right agencies after the event and was a great way for the other 8 GovHack events around New Zealand to connect and help each other out.
Check out the video below for a peak at how the event unfolded over the weekend (big thanks to Rahman Satti for the video).
