Hungarian Journalists Build New Site After Controversy

by Ines Kagubare • May 19, 2016

Open Data Movement Reaches Turning Point

by freedominfo.org • May 13, 2016

Only one-tenth of national data is really open and free, according to the third annual Open Data Barometer by the World Wide Web Foundation. “The open data movement is at a turning point,” the report finds. “If we allow this moment to slip away, however, open data could fade into a ghost town of abandoned pilots, outdated data portals, and unused apps.”
