Hello All,

The MassDOT Developers Holiday Party is coming up next Tuesday, December 8th at 6:30pm.  Together, we have accomplished amazing things since launching the Developers effort in July.  Next Tuesday is an opportunity to get together and network.  We would also like to highlight some of the great applications built as part of these efforts, especially those that we were not able to highlight at the conference, as well as applications using the real-time XML feed. 

The party will be at The Rattlesnake Bar and Grill which has been gracious enough to allow us to use their space for this event.  There will be a cash bar (sorry, we would love to buy everyone a drink but…well you know) and food can be ordered.

If you would like to present an application or visualization that uses our data, please email Josh at joshua...@state.ma.us.  Each developer will have three minutes to highlight his or her application, web site, visualization, or ideas.  We are especially interested in highlighting the following:

  • Applications that use the Real Time XML Feed launched at the MassDOT Developers Conference.
  • Applications that work on platforms beyond the iPhone, including Android, Blackberry, Palm Web OS, Windows Mobile, desktop applications and beyond.  As was noted at the conference, it is important for applications to serve as many populations as possible for this effort to succeed.
  • Applications that are accessible through a simple text message.
  • Applications that enhance the accessibility of the MBTA.
  • Applications that help highway travelers and help MassDOT with congestion, incident response, customer service, and mobility as requested by Secretary Mullan (Follow him on Twitter @massDOT).

Please let us know if there is anything you think we can do better moving forward and remember that our Google Group is a resource to all using our data.


Looking forward to seeing you December 8th!

Josh + Chris
The MassDOT Developers Team
