Event Details

Help develop the plan for NYC government to unlock its data!

NYC recently enacted Local Law 11 of 2012, which mandates citywide open data in machine-readable formats through a centralized, publicly accessible web site. The NYC Open Data portal was launched in late 2011 to meet this need. The legislation additionally mandates the creation of technical standards in support of this initiative.

Join NYC DoITT’s team from the Office of Strategic Technology Development and the open government community – policymakers, technologists, civic hackers, app developers, academics, journalists and data enthusiasts – for an engaging day of discussions, drafting, planning and hacking.

Rough schedule for the day:

  • 10:30 - Registation & Caffeination
  • 11:00 - Introductions from Gale A. Brewer, Rachel Sterne, & Girish Chhugani
  • 11:30 - Overview & Session I Planning
  • 12:15 - Breakout Session I & Recap
  • 1:45 - Lunch & Session II Planning
  • 2:30 - Breakout Session II & Recap
  • 4:00 - Conclusion

This will be an unconference-style event. Get a jump-start and propose discussion topics here. And, there is no need to wait for the event to collaborate - visit NYC's Open Data Policies, Technical Standards, and Guidelines wiki now!
