What

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.

Why

The 100 Automations project was born from the DRY (Do Not Repeat Yourself) principal of programming.

Project Goals

• Attribute credit for high-value contributions to GitHub and general open source community
• Publicize code to reduce repetitive work across the open source community

• Publicize projects that utilize the automations created
• Create guides for people to level up on creating automations
• Make automations more usable by creating distinct and well documented repositories
