DrupalGov Canberra was held at the National Museum of Australia on February 8th 2016, bringing together the best Drupal talent in the country to address challenges specific to the public sector.

I was there to deliver a session covering the opportunity surrounding Drupal and CKAN open data portals. There are a number of easy ways to integrate the two projects to improve data publishing, discoverability and visualisation.

Thanks to the volunteers from Drupal ACT the session was recorded and can now be found online. You can watch the embedded version below, or view the Drupal, CKAN and Public Data session on DrupalGov’s YouTube Channel. You can also browse the complete playlist of DrupalGov 2016 sessions.
