Spoiler Alert - one day, you’re going to die. You may not get a blue plaque, but perhaps you’ll get a memorial bench. Liz & Terence have built openbenches.org where anyone can add to a collection of open data. We’ll show you why & how we built this collection of >12000 benches from around the world.

An amazing idea looking to have been very well executed.

Great talk.

Great talk. I never realised that openbenches.org did OCR. I'll totally be contributing!

Great talk and wonderful initiative. I'll be looking for benches everywhere I go from now on 🙂

How delightful. I may be at risk of a new obsession. Thankfully I'm not competitive.
Glad to know of this project, and have a couple of dear friends' benches to look up and add.
Lovely project, and a lovely presentation.

Awesome, I would love to do something similar for all the various graphics, advertising paintings on old buildings and such. Will need to investigate. Thank you

Really cool presentation. A novel idea, and well presented in an interesting and engaging way.
