Affected by DHD (Data Hugging Disorder)? Get cured at Beer4Data tonight at FourCourts in Arlington at 7PM. Following the success of the Beer 4 Data program in Jalalabad, Afghanistan we want to encourage those of you in the US to also share your data. In Afghanistan’s elections in 2009, the Beer 4 Data program provided valuable information in monitoring and security.
Bring along your open data, and Todd Huffman and I will show you how you can share it with the world. In exchange, we’ll buy you a beer (or other drink of your choice). Of course, the quality of the data will be representative of the quality of the beer.
Hope to see you there. If you can’t make it, look for future programs nearby.
Update: Want to participate remotely? Upload data to GeoCommons and tag it “beer4data”. Next time we’re in your town, or you’re in ours, we’ll buy the first round. Bonus points if you also make a map and tag it.

Argh! I’m so ticked off that you guys are doing Beer 4 Data at my FAVORITE BAR in the area and I’m out of town….I have so much to share you would have had to buy me one of their steel mugs and beer for a year!
Sorry Sean – don’t worry, we’ll hold another Beer4Data Arlington. And in the meantime, we’ll support “remote Beer4Data” Upload some data to GeoCommons and tag it “beer4data” and we’ll catch you next time you’re back in town.
Gah! I just read this. Sorry I missed you this time. I definitely want to catch up with FortiusOne / Synergy Strike Force et al.
This is an awesome idea! I hope you guys have more of these.
