django-councilmatic

This is a Django app with core functions for the Councilmatic family, a set of web apps for keeping tabs on local city council. It is built upon the open civic data standard, and ultimately makes Councilmatic easier to re-deploy in new cities.

django-councilmatic includes:

  • data models for bills, people, organizations, events, and more
  • a task to load data from the open civic data api
  • views & templates for bill/person/organization/event pages, search, and more

The Councilmatic family includes:

  • Philly Councilmatic (the original & first Councilmatic, by Mjumbe Poe. since it preceded django-councilmatic, it does not use django-councilmatic)
  • Chicago Councilmatic (launched & built on django-councilmatic)
  • New York City Councilmatic (launched & built on django-councilmatic)

We are continuing to improve django-councilmatic, & we welcome contributions in the form of github issues (bug reports, feature requests, general questions) & code contributions.

How to contribute code:

  • Fork the project
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix
  • Bonus points for running tests to check python style (pip install flake8 & then flake8 .)
  • Send a pull request! Don't worry if it isn't perfect - think of a PR as a start of a conversation, rather than a finished product
