Samuel Goëta from MaDada

Open data in France somehow looks like the leaning tower of Pisa: beautiful (open data is mandatory by law), but with foundations (the Freedom of Information Act)  in bad shape. In this presentation, Samuel speaks about the weaknesses of FOIA in France, how the French Alaveteli platform madada.fr manages them and the first success stories of the platform.
