Lillian Grace, Founder of Wiki New Zealand outlines what's possible when we make data sets freely available and make data digestible to the general public, at Open Source Open Society conference in Wellington, New Zealand.

Lillian explains: 

"Many people are afraid of sharing their ideas and plans, I used to be. I used to think great products or services existed in isolation and you could work away on something and suddenly - pow! - launch it out and wow everyone. And sometimes, that is the case. But what I have learnt in the journey with establishing Wiki New Zealand is that when you really share what you have, and incorporate others’ thinking and tools, you find yourself with something grander than you could have ever done alone."
