Open Gov & Civic Tech Meetup on Monday, Oct 19 at Terrazas Library

[Mateo C]

Our next Open Gov & Civic Tech Meetup is Monday, Oct 19 at Terrazas Library.

Topic: 

City of Austin's Open Data 2.0 Initiative 

Summary:  

Austin's City Manager kicked off an "Open Data Initiative 2.0" in April 2015 (see the Memo). Representatives from the City that led the first 90-day sprint of this initiative will join us for an update.

Open Austin believes 21st century governance can work for the people. We build open source technology and organize volunteers to envision government services made simple, effective, and accessible. Information is a service of government. Data is also a service of government (See FOIA). We know accessible data promotes better decisions and planning... And its fun to geek out on. Join us for this discussion.

The program starts about 7pm.
