^Initiative ^Team | | **Make.Opendata.ch** is an initiative of the association [[http://opendata.ch|Opendata.ch]]. We started political debate on a federal level during the well-received [[http://opendata.ch/2011/06/opendata2011-medienmitteilung/|event in June 2011]] at the Swiss Federal Archives, since followed up with [[http://www.parlament.ch/f/suche/Pages/resultate.aspx?collection=CV&query=open data&sort=GN&way=desc|parliamentary inquiries]] together with the [[http://www.digitale-nachhaltigkeit.ch/|Parliamentary Group for Digital Sustainability]] and further [[http://opendata.ch/category/event/|conference events]]. \\ \\ The community effort kicked off by **Make.Opendata.ch** is an important complement to political activities and public relations. Our goal is to raise awareness and support for openness and innovation through Open Data. \\ \\ This initiative is **politically independent and not bound to any particular party or funding source**. | Hannes Gassert ([[http://www.liip.ch/|Liip]], [[http://www.ch-open.ch/|/ch/open]]), \\ Antoine Logean ([[http://www.innoq.com|innoQ]], [[http://www.opendata.ch/|Opendata.ch]]), \\ Matthias Stürmer ([[http://www.ey.com/CH/en/home|Ernst & Young]], [[http://www.opendata.ch/|Opendata.ch]]), \\ Andreas Amsler ([[http://www.liip.ch/|Liip]], [[http://www.opendata.ch/|Opendata.ch]]), \\ Oleg Lavrovsky ([[http://www.appswithlove.com|Apps with love]], [[http://www.opendata.ch/|Opendata.ch]]), \\ Jeremy Stucki ([[http://interactivethings.com/|Interactive Things]]),\\ Giorgio Pauletto ([[http://ot-lab.ch|OT Lab]], [[http://www.opendata.ch/|Opendata.ch]]) and \\ Philippe Rendulic ([[http://tunnel15.ch/|Tunnel 15]]). |
