Welcome to the 100 Automations Website Wiki!

Introduction

100 Automations is a project that showcases Hack for LA automations and microservices that reduce repetitive work in open source development; a project where anyone can create, collaborate on, and get credit for open source automations that assist the wider Civic Tech community. 100 Automations welcomes ideas in all stages, from the half-baked to the fully researched, as well as anything in between. The name derives from the project's goal to reach 100 developed automations in our first twelve months.

History

The 100 Automations project was born from the DRY (Do Not Repeat Yourself) principle of programming. We want to develop a methodology for developers to save time by preventing effort duplication. This project is about creating a concerted effort to do more so we can leverage more. We want to get code out of code bases into replicable packages. The more we can do this, the more time can be saved.
