August 4th Meetup - Open Government Data

Join us this Tuesday for the Colorado Nonprofit Technology and Communications (CNTC) meetup. This month's discussion topic is "Open Government Data".  

"Apps for Democracy produced more savings for the D.C. government than any other initiative." -- Vivek Kundra, former CTO of Washington, DC and current Federal CIO

Much recent work been done in our nation's capital, around open data and transparency.  The city of Washington DC made lots of municipal data available in real time, and the Apps for Democracy program saw some real successes building on that.  Similar efforts are underway in other cities across the nation, and at the federal level as well.  What are some of the promises and pitfalls of this movement?  Join us for a discussion of open government data:

  • What is it?
  • What are people doing with it?  (and, so what?)
  • What are the pitfalls and problem areas?
  • What does it mean for Colorado?

When: Tuesday, August 4th, 6-8pm
Where: The Alliance Center  (1536 Wynkoop Street, Denver, 80202)

We'll provide light snacks (soda, chips, and the like).  Limited free parking is available in the Alliance Center lot.  Otherwise, there should be some metered parking within a block or two.

See you Tuesday!
