Log your repair data now for inclusion in the upcoming Open Repair Alliance 2025 dataset

Every year, working on behalf of the Open Repair Alliance, we collate and publish a huge set of open data on the repairs that take place at community repair events around the world. You can help support this initiative by uploading your repair data into Restarters.net :slight_smile:

Last year’s dataset included over 200,000 records of repair attempts from over 1,000 repair groups in 31 countries around the world. This data is used for all kinds of things - we and others analyse it for insights and advocacy on repair and the right to repair, and there are many other interesting uses from downloaders of the open data.

If you enter your group’s repair data into Restarters.net, then it is already automatically included into the Open Repair Alliance dataset and supports right to repair activities around the world.

We will be starting work on this year’s release of data a few weeks away from now, towards the end of August. Excitingly, this year, the Open Repair Alliance data will also include information on the amount of non-EEE items seen at repair events, too. :jeans: :chair: :gem: :bike: :hammer_and_wrench:

The new dataset will include data for events up until the end of 31st July 2025. So, if you’ve got any repair data still to upload, log your data soon for it to be included in this year’s Open Repair Alliance dataset!

@neil is there any way to translate the pop-up window in our language?

@Florine_Paquay Unfortunately we don’t have a way to automatically display these banners in the language of the user :frowning: a shame and I agree it would be good to have it. However, if you tell me some useful text to use in French, I’d be happy to squeeze both English and French into the same banner, as these two languages cover the vast majority of users of Restarters at the moment.

It would be great, thanks !
Here’s the translation:
"Encodez vos données maintenant pour les inclure dans les données 2025 de l’Open Repair Alliance -
Chaque année, en travaillant au nom de l’Open Repair Alliance, nous rassemblons et publions un ensemble considérable de données sur les réparations qui ont lieu dans les événements communautaires de réparation dans le monde. Vous pouvez aider à soutenir cette initiative cette année en encodant maintenant vos données sur restarters.net :slight_smile: "
