Unfortunately due to the uncertainty surrounding the Wuhan novel coronavirus outbreak, it has been decided to call off the International Open Data Day 2020 event and hackathon being planned in Hong Kong. See:
While its frustrating that most public meetups and gatherings here have been cancelled in Hong Kong, for people that want to do something to help there are some virtual events specifically focused on understanding and tackling the outbreak using open data and data science being organised.
Open Source Hong Kong are have a project collecting data on the outbreak from the news, press release and social networks, and releasing it under an open license on GitHub:
There is also a 2-hour online tutorial from Data Science Hong Kong on Sunday 9th February, covering programmatically gathering data about the spread of the disease, analysing it for patterns, and visualizing the output.
Many of us in Hong Kong will be watching the ODD activities remotely, and look forward to future public meetups when this crisis has been resolved.

Dear @ScottBGI,
Sorry to hear this but it obviously is advisable to follow government warnings and limit public meetings to halt the spread of the coronavirus.
Thank you for sharing this news. I will update people on the #network-and-community:open-data-day channel as well as removing the Hong Kong event from the map on the Open Data Day website.
All the best,
Stephen
Thanks Stephen. We’ve written a bit more on the ODHK website:
https://www.opendatahk.com/2020/02/open-data-versus-the-coronavirus/
To do something constructive we are doing an online hangout/workshop on the 9th Feb (starting noon HK/UTC +8) specifically talking about open data and the coronavrius crisis. People can join or watch via youtube here:
If that goes well then maybe some further online followup and participation could be coordinated with ODD2020, but we’ll see how it goes.
Cheers,
Scott

Coronavirus is spreading rapidly around the world. I have canceled my China trip that was scheduled for next month because of the Coronavirus. because I have been single for the last year. I thought that if I go to China, maybe I will find my love there. But Coronavirus made it worse. Now I have changed my destination to Japan. but I really don’t know about the culture and women there. I have just found an article online4.love/Japanese-dating-sites/ that has helped me immensely to learn about dating in Japan. This article is written truly about dating in Japan. The writer has written about many dating sites in his article. what do you think guys the writer correctly described the facts in his article.? Is there anyone who has experience dating there? or knows about the most popular dating website in Japan? And how many Corona patients have been reported in Japan so far? Your advice is very meaningful to me.
