Hacking Public Transport - Matera and beyond

Updates!

We exchanged few emails with @Alberto and @mstn so I would like to share latest state of things with everyone interested.

Dates: Feb 9th - Feb 22nd

From latest Alberto’s email:

"

  1. I’ll ask someone (called Ida) to help us with finding a place for you to stay. Cheap or free.

  2. I will ask for you to be able to use the unMonastery during the daytime (only the downstairs space). I am reasonably sure you can use the workspace there, and I hope the kitchen too. This will enable you to cook your own meals – I know Elf prefers it.

  3. Ida could possibly also help with arranging hospitality for you in Potenza when you go over. Take heed: Miccolis does indeed serve Potenza, but only with city-to-city lines. Urban transport is managed by another company.

  4. Piero will arrange something in Matera on Open Data Day.

"

From latest Marco’s email:

"

In passing, I gave my bank account to Piersoft. This money will be our

budget for the project.

"

We also had meeting during our participation in 31C3 where we discussed exchanges opportunities for people working in field of #OpenData / #CivicTech. I hope we can combine it with this activity and I already started asking Stefan Kaufmann, one of the best experts in field of Open Public Transportation data that I know, if he could join our sprint in Matera even just for one week!

Of course we will keep all the preparation details + logs of all involved financial and real world resources flows public online :slight_smile:
