AireMad and Open Source
summary
AireMAD is an open-source web application that publishes Madrid’s environmental data—air pollution, noise, flu, weather, etc.—including additional datasets not in the official catalog and accessible via its API. The talk explains why AireMAD was started (after the earlier Aire Madrid) with support from Open Source Weekends, OSWGuilds and Fictizia, details technical choices using Spanish open-source projects like GoblinDB and Pillarsjs, and describes legal and technical challenges faced when reusing open data.
