Hi folks,
I wanted to follow up on Wednesday's SF Elections Commission meeting
with a brief report. Thanks to everyone who made it out to the
meeting.
San Francisco's Chief Data Officer Joy Bonaguro gave a great
presentation during the open data agenda item which you can listen to
here (linked to the starting time):

Thanks also to public commenters Dale McGrew (We Vote USA), David
Cary, Nolan Love (PollVault), and Asha John (Code for San Francisco).
You can hear the public comment starting here:

The process of publishing everything as open data isn't something that
will happen overnight, but I'm confident that it's the kind of thing
that can be improved and iterated upon year after year, especially
with continued public interest and feedback. Director of Elections
John Arntz has already shown quite a bit of interest and commitment to
acting on this issue, so lots of credit should go to him as well.
Thanks a lot, everyone, and have a good weekend,
--Chris
