April 21-22, 2012 will host the international contest of applications of space and space — the International Space Apps Challenge, spaceappschallenge.org the competition will be held in the format of the Hackathon on day 2 when participants around the world will solve the proposed tasks.
The main organizer and sponsor of the contest — NASA, the competition is held in the framework of the voluntary commitments of the US at the Open Government Partnership.
The contest is quite popular in the USA format is to first collect all requests and then merge command to resolve them.
And now they gather ideas spaceappschallenge.org/submit on 4 themes — Software, Open Hardware, Citizen Science and Data Visualization. All topics already have a task plus you can submit your. And all submitted topics can be found here spaceappschallenge.org/challenges
And the competition will be held in the following locations:

Australia — Melbourne and Canberra

UK, Ahsford and Exeter

And now is closer to our Russian reality. Is it possible to take in the show jumping? In Russia. Have to go to one of the places where it will be held, if at all, to set such a goal. What benefits can be extracted?
1. To offer their ideas for solutions, perhaps they will take and be able to implement the participants.
2. To see how to solve such tasks at a global level that in the agenda for citizens and States.
For example, you can note that most of the challenges associated with open data that NASA knew all these years.
Is it possible to hold a competition in Russia, alas, no. Roscosmos hopelessly behind on openness and transparency. We have not only open data, but also understanding how they should be delivered and why. Will have to start from scratch and the journey will be long.
The maximum possible is the Russian developers could participate in such a contest, but this should have been the efforts on the part of Roskosmos or the Russian foreign Ministry.
So, alas, the situation is grim, but we can still benefit from it though in the form of results that will make the participants.
