How can we run OpenParlData.ch, a 🇨🇭 legislative data infrastructure, sustainably and in the public interest? This question will be at the center of our next public meeting: we will present the first iteration* of our principles, business model & governance requirements & want to hear your feedback!

😤 Arbeitest Du mit Daten im öffentlichen Sektor und hast ein Problem, bei dem Du nicht auf einen grünen Zweig kommst? 💡 Hast Du eine Idee, mit #Daten von Bund, Kantonen oder Gemeinden Mehrwert zu schaffen? Dann reiche Deine Challenge beim GovTech Hackathon ein und arbeite gemeinsam an Lösungen! 👇

How can we sustainably operate an (open) data infrastructure in the public interest? This question lies at the heart of my current work for OpenParlData.ch, an open API for harmonized data from 🇨🇭 parliaments. 1/3

I'm on my way to Brussels for @fosdem #fosdem where I'll present our 🇨🇭 legislative data infrastructure OpenParlData.ch at @FosdemResearch : https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/BJKRCN-keeping_legislative_data_accessible/. Let me know if you wanna have a coffee and talk public interest tech, #DigitalPublicGoods or cute 😻.

🔥 Current world events give me little cause for optimism. But it makes one thing clear: old recipes no longer work for new, increasingly complex crises and problems. We need to change our system in order to ensure a good life for all within planetary boundaries.

Dieser wichtige Beitrag zur digitalen Innovation und dem gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt hatte lange Zeit keine öffentliche Anerkennung. Jüngst hat der Bund eine erste gesetzliche Grundlage für diese wichtige Arbeit geschaffen, plant sie aber im Rahmen der Sparübung...

🛠️ Let's build #data spaces on top of the foundation of #opendata! This was our key message at the Swiss Data Space Forum: Open and shared data only differ in terms of access. Open data play a role in all data spaces. Let's consider learnings from 10+ years of open data and create public value greater than the sum of "one" alone.

We (@OpendataCH and friends) are building an open #API and #standard for harmonized Swiss parliamentary data to promote transparency, innovation and participation in 🇨🇭 politics. We want to continue working on this openly and collaboratively. Thus, we are looking forward to presenting what we've been working on during the last two months and to hearing your input and feedback on 19 November (11.00 – 12.00, online). 👉 Register here: https://opendata.hitobito.com/de/groups/5/public_events/18
