Journalists and developers launched an effort to gather information on open databases in the country and on the European Parliament and Commission last Thursday at the first Hacks/Hackers event in Belgium .

Almost 50 people attended the event in Brussels, mostly hackers, but with a strong representation from national media (such as Le SoirRTL-TViRTBF *) .

The group is looking to hold their first hackaton in January. As an initial effort, the group decided to create a Google doc to collect URLs of open databases in Belgium and Brussels (European Parlement/Commission), which are lacking at the moment.
