My talk on GitHub open data at ITGM #10
The document discusses open data and mining GitHub for the greater good. It defines open data as any data available under an open license. It notes that GitHub is the largest social network of IT and CS professionals and contains lots of open source code. While the data on GitHub Archive is available, it questions whether it is truly open since it requires use of Google BigQuery. The document encourages mining GitHub to help work for the greater good.
