On a whim, I wanted to know if #meteoswiss provides an API for getting the data of swiss weather stations (because I couldn't find a #homeassistant integration for it). Turns out: they have one since last month and it's part of the wider swiss #opengovernmentdata ecosystem. Nice!

(and they also publish other interesting data such as pollen concentration)

Despite many successes in establishing #OpenGovernmentData and #DataGovernance practices in all branches and sectors of government, we are still facing three main challenges:
- Lack of central data strategy and strong leadership with vision #DatenStrategieBund
- A low general level of #dataliteracy, with more learning opportunities needed
- Interoperability and #FAIRdata Principles need further investment

Just pre-ordered a @trmnl e-ink display and shortly after discovered that the Swiss government is starting to open-source some of its data, including weather forecast data!
Means I'll be able to create a custom MeteoSwiss plugin :D

The latest report (in German) on the costs and impacts of #OpenGovernmentData from the Federal Office of Topography #swisstopo is a validation and critique of advocating for data as a public good.
For governments this paper should be a nice check on expectations and outcomes, for example for Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology #MeteoSwiss - who from 1 April 2025 plans to make its data available for free reuse.

I'm updating a little instruction set for students to broadly search for civic technology and open government posts on the Mastodon network.
Any suggestions for hashtags to add to my list at the bottom of this post?
Or suggestions for active accounts to use to prime a list? Pic includes current list members and some instructions.
