Tweeting Tides

In a recent note to the mailing list, Stuart Lewis pointed to @AKLPortTides, @WGNPortTides, and @ONEPortTides where he is automatically Tweeting tide details for Auckland, Wellington, and Onehunga ports respectively using LINZ tide data.  He has blogged what’s going on behind the scenes.  Stuart was inspired by Simon Lyall’s @NZ_quake twitterbot that passes on the latest earthquakes from GeoNet.

Open Government Barcamp

Don’t miss the Open Government Barcamp in Wellington on Saturday August 29, and the hackfest the day after.  A “barcamp” is a chance to meet like-minded people, learn what’s going on, and kick off stuff that matters.  Join the mailing list, add yourself to the wiki, and show up with your thinking hat on.  It’s going to be great!
