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 our government. Data is a service of our government. (See FOIA)
Accessible data promotes better decisions and planning... And its fun to geek out on 👓.
Austin's City Manager kicked off an "Open Data Initiative 2.0" in April 2015 (see the Memo). Every city department was asked to:
- designate an open data liaison
- conduct a data inventory
- submit an open data participation plan
- publish at least three new datasets to the City’s open data portal.
The initial 90-day sprint has concluded and published are the results.
