Perl and Opendata

By JT Smith on February 19, 2012 3:00 AM

Thiago Rondon will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:

Opendata is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.

In Brasil, we worked last year with some solutions with opendata, that government can be transparent and make a good comunication with society.

And the result of this work are three websites that use Catalyst, DBIx::Class and a lot modules of CPAN.

One of this websites is “Where does my money go ?” - http://www.paraondefoiomeudinheiro.com.br/.

Another one, is about where is crime in one state of Brasil, that with a map you can see where it is happy by time. - http://www.ondeacontece.com.br/

At last, one about our representants - http://www.deputando.com.br.

In this talk, I explain how Perl can be a good language to make nice and fast websites with opendata.
