Edinburgh TechCube Reception

Over at TechCube in Edinburgh they have put up a Raspberry Pi powered screen in reception - here modelled by Oli. It takes open data from Open Tech Calendar and their own house calendar of events (running on our companion project Has A Calendar) and shows the next 6 events, so those passing by can easily see what is coming up. It's a simple HTML, CSS and JS screen that is on GitHub so TechCube ppl are free to hack around on it.

What interesting uses of the events data have you seen?
