See you tomorrow at the Fabbrica del Vapore. Lipparini: "Two days of intense work on the open data of the Milanese municipal administration"
Milan, May 31 2019 – Starting tomorrow, at the Fabbrica del Vapore, the seventh gathering of Spaghetti Open Data, the community founded in 2010 that brings together a group of Italian citizens interested in the release and reuse of public data in open format.
Two days of meetings, debates, working tables and hackathons to discuss and work on open data as a resource for citizens and the Public Administration.
The works will be started at 10am by the councilor Lorenzo Lipparini (Participation, Active Citizenship and Open Data) of the Municipality of Milan, who collaborated in the organization of the event:  “There will be two days of intense work during which the community will also work on open data of our city, with the aim of presenting visualizations useful for understanding some phenomena such as the neighborhoods of residence of the various foreign communities and the possible presence of the so-called "spatial segregation" between the different nationalities. The  gathering also marks the official start of a six-month collaboration agreement aimed at the joint work of the Administration and the Spaghetti Open Data community for the valorisation of the information assets of the Municipality of Milan, considered to all intents and purposes an intangible common good".
"The gathering is our annual event to discuss the past, present and future of open data in Italy - explains Erika Marconato, of the Spaghetti OpenData community -. If in the first years we focused a lot on the request for data, in 2019, which sees our seventh gathering, we are focusing on the entire life of data: from before it is made available to when - and how - it is used, up to imagining how to ensure that it remains available to future generations. Exactly as happens for everyone goods considered to be of public utility. The informal nature of our community has always allowed an open discussion between people with different roles: administrators and citizens dialogue on the same side of the table, or rather, within the same spaces, both physical and virtual - the mailing list is our main place for discussion. Open data is everyone's heritage and, although the burden of release lies with the Public Administrations, Open Data today represents a truly common good". 
At 10.15  the Open Data team of the Municipality of Milan will talk about the working methods of the Milanese Public Administration on the management of open data and its dissemination through the website Dati.comune.milano.it.
At 10.45 through “Digital democracy products made in Brazil”, Felipe Benites Cabral, a Brazilian who lives in Milan, will talk about how he launched some applications that use open data (or freed data) and how this work turned out to be the main project to fight against corruption in Brazil while also giving rise to many other projects.
At 12.10 two parallel thematic sessions will start: the "Civic Hacking" table, on how to organize and represent the demand for open data and the "Data and Crafts" table entitled "Digital Scriptorium, to preserve digital culture from a new Middle Ages", in which we will reflect on the conservation of open data, in light of a decade of Open Data.
At 14.30 pm two parallel sessions: "Open data as a political act", which will present cases of success and failure for open data as a tool at the service of Open Government in Public Administration and "Archeostickers", which will tell the story of a campaign that reuses open data to create memes.
At 15.30 pm the table "Which licenses for public data" will question the choices of public administrations regarding licenses, while "OpenData and IoT, making data physical + data visualization" will present to the community the "BiblioVisualizer" installed in the Library municipality of Cormano, a special "thermometer" that shows the trend of book lending in real time.
At 16.50 pm the last two meetings of the day: "Mapping architectural barriers for Peba", to understand how to use a Telegram bot for participatory mapping of architectural barriers according to a scheme codified in the Milanese Public Administration and "Accessibility and transparency: overlapping of data personal and company data", with the story of some direct experiences.
The day will end in plenary at 18pm with the presentation
 “We are forgetting someone!”, on cognitive biases, technology and minorities, starting from the experience of a woman from the community. 
The second day, Sunday 2 June, will be dedicated to hackathons, with some themes already identified, such as working on the creation of a map to identify any spatial segregation in the city of Milan, and others that will arise during the gathering.
