Entries for the Not for Profit public sector information category competition of the Government 2.0 Taskforce close THIS FRIDAY – 5 OCTOBER. The Taskforce is seeking to fast-track the generation of ideas for using public sector data in a not-for-profit setting, and will help the winner turn this idea into a project proposal.

$5,000 will go to a charity/not-for-profit organisation nominated by the person/s selected by the Taskforce as having the best idea(s) for using public sector information in a not-for-profit setting.

In addition the winner(s) (or their nominated not-for-profit organisation) will be provided assistance from Connecting Up Australia to scope their idea as project proposal that the Taskforce can consider funding from the Project Fund.

If you know of a charity/not for profit that could benefit from the release and use of public sector information or you have an idea as to how citizens could benefit from the release of public sector information to the sector then send in your idea BEFORE FRIDAY.

ALSO don't miss your opportunity to vote for the idea you like best. Vote here.
