<h2 id="what-to-work-on">What will people be working on?</h2>
<p><b><a href="https://codeforseattle.hackpad.com/CodeAcross-Seattle" target="blank">See this hackpad for all projects we'll work on & add your own!</a></b></p>
<p>Many in-progress Code For Seattle projects will be available for you to work on: contribute to <a href="http://seattlewiki.net">the Seattle Wiki</a>, finish <a href="http://seattlefoodtrucks.herokuapp.com">a map of local food trucks</a>, work on <a href="http://github.com/willscott/geosub">a location-based event notification service</a>, contribute to <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a>... the list goes on and on.</p>
<p>Code For America has also issued a list of challenges for local communities to tackle this year:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>The Open Data Inventory Challenge</strong><br>
<p>Perform an audit of Seattle's <a href="http://data.seattle.gov">open data portal</a>. Does Seattle make 311 requests public? Budget data? Construction permits? Code For America will provide a dataset checklist to compare against (we will publish a link when available). If a dataset is missing, how can we work with the city to open that dataset? What can be done with the city's already-open data? <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LFEwoVYWrTFM4gb9iKjMlI9n_MF7lDBeD7clsYGYbvo/edit">Details</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>The Open Data Policy Challenge</strong><br>
<p>Does Seattle have an open data policy? It's important for an open data policy to exist so that civic data remains open and current. Check out <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/opendataguidelines/">the Sunlight Foundation's Open Data Policy Guidelines</a> for inspiration. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZP_qNd6Zf_AmGff3yXT91vnUlOPkXLDb6zFFH75A5h8/edit">Details</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>The Open Civic Data Scraper Challenge</strong><br>
<p><a href="http://opencivicdata.org/">The Open Civic Data project</a> aims to provide common data formats and a friendly API for legislative information. Help them meet this goal by writing scrapers for civic data. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mf_7M4uiWYM0npdRpk1FxzcWBMh3jUwAIloOZCmao1k/edit">Details</a>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>And, as always, come with your own ideas of what can be built to improve your city.</p>
