There is a huge disconnect between citizens and municipalities. While it would seem that they are living in the same city, it’s often the case that they are using it differently and that they can’t find the common ground for the discussion about the progress of the city. That is why I was happy to […]
In quite a stark contrast to csv,conf (which was very developer oriented), I attended OKFestival the next two days. With over 1000 attendees from all areas of it really is a huge gathering of open proponents. Open is the new default While not necessarily true in all the fields yet, it looks like we’re at […]
Today I attended csv,conf in Berlin, which turned out to be an excellent conference full of people who gather and transform data on a daily basis. CSV, comma separated values, file format seems like a joke at first – who seriously uses that today in age of SQL, no-SQL and other $random-DB solution? It turns […]
This week I had a pleasure of attending Future, Innovation, Technology and Creativity (FITC) 2014 Conference in Amsterdam. I wanted to update myself on what the creative industries are doing as I was mostly visiting developer and security oriented events. In general, quality of talks and presenters greatly exceeded my expectations and I feel myself […]
Ninja Forms is rather nifty WordPress Plugin for forms. The main problem I have with it at the moment is that’s a rather mess in terms of data structure and getting data out of it. One can grab CSV file, but doesn’t really help you if you want to make a nice front-end. So here’s a […]
WordPress is exploding everywhere, including in Slovenia. I get requests for work almost every week, so there seems to be more demand than there are developers. As it’s usually with these things, developers often can’t market themselves so here’s a humble effort to make it easier to connect these two groups. Google Spreadsheet with Slovenian […]
In the last year I’ve either deployed or inherited about 10 new WordPress installations and managing them became a mess that quickly ate too much of my time. It seems that quite a few of my friends have the same problem – so here’s a quick overview on how to approach it. Everything I describe […]
Today I had a chance to visit LAPSI 2.0 project conference (The European Thematic Network on Legal Aspects of Public Sector Information). Wikipedia has a good definition of the directive: Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information, otherwise known as the PSI Directive[2][3] is an EU directive that encourages EU member states to […]
Today Cultural Contact Point Slovenia based at SCCA-Ljubljana, Media Desk Slovenia, and Culture.si/Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory released visualisations of last decade of successful fundraising data from EU programmes. Process This is first public release of such data in Slovenia and is result of 6 months of intensive work in data reconciliation, methodology and finally – visualisation. I helped mostly […]

It’s popular today to work in Open Data, Big Data or similar space. It feels just like the times of Web 2.0 mashups, but instead of simple Google Maps based tools we’re now creating powerful visualisations that often feel like an end by itself. In a way, I expected OKCon, OpenKnowledge Foundation’s conference, to be […]
