The Paris Summer Innovation Fellowship is a two-week immersive program focused on empowering our next generation of city problem-solvers: data scientists, DIY urban designers and open street mappers. The fellowship covers a financial stipend, access to world-class mentors, co-working space, special tools--no strings attached. Over a period of two weeks, this program will equip a small group of 20 creative and talented individuals to begin building solutions to the challenges facing Paris today.

Working on OpenEventDatabase (OEDB) project with Christian Quest, OpenStreetMap France association president and designer of OEDB project.
OEDB project is also related to geoalerte, project designed by a team during the hackathon "Nec Mergitur" organized by city of Paris and "préfecture de police".
The goal of OpenEventDatabase is to share geo and time related data thru an open public API. It tries to answer to what/where/when questions. The basic data is an Event defined through a geojson paylod. The geometry part contains the "where" information and the properties part contains the what and when details.
