A competition for generating ideas around the reuse of public government data modelled after Show Us a Better Way in the UK. Launched May 2009, running until September 2009. 'Dat zou handig zijn' means 'That would be great to have'. The Ministry for the Interior has made 20.000 Euro available to help realize the best idea(s).

The competition generated 60 ideas. Winners were announced November 26th 2009.
Winning idea was 'where do my taxes go', which won funding to realize the idea. Runners up were two related ideas about garbage removal dates, and places to bring garbage.
These last two ideas were turned into an application at the conference where the winners were announced, yielding a working prototype at the end of the day. This was done by 'Hack de Overheid' also a Dutch initiative (to be) listed at OurData
