The Recording of Maremma in Diretta, ep. 799, with Open Data as Seen by the pibinko.org Network

What can we say…have part of an interview where international events, rural community maps and appetizer recipes are all in the same picture feels good when you work on and promote interdisciplinary activities. For more open data stories in the pibinko.org network, see https://www.pibinko.org/en/?s=%22open+data%22 (articles start in 2010).

Thanks again to Carlo Sestini for the hospitality and see you in April.

Going through: Politecnico di Milano, Centro di Ricerca, Sviluppo e Studi Superiori in Sardegna (CRS4), CH2M HILL (now Jacobs), Caffè Ricasoli in Grosseto, Etruschi from Lakota, Farma Valley Winter Fest, GFOSS.it conference in Genva, International Open Data Day, Circolo ARCI di Castelnuovo Val di Cecina, Community Maps, Ganesh Pomarance, Bar Moderno Roccastrada and various characters met along the way, with a highlight on Mauro Tirannosauro.

At the end of the interview, the second version of “Rock in Milano, Blues at la Rocca” (video to be issued on May 16).

This interview is the follow up to an initial interview in March 2019 where Jack briefly explained the concept of geomusic.
