Notes from Knight Meeting
- Phases of Socrata:
- What are they?
- There is a plan to have a three “portal” set-up where there is a: 1. City portal 2. Community portal 3. Citizen facing portal that will pull datasets from both
- Data publishing workflows?
- Knight Community Information Challenge proposal
- original proposal as submitted/awarded: https://docs.google.com/a/codeforamerica.org/document/d/1BKdo7UH38Wx3DQiwcWrQBSMdZalxRuk8KxPpxjse7n4/edit
- KCIC Boot Camp 100 day plan (supersedes proposal) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtKLl4E63keLdDIzdVU2TXdWUzlySWNac3BJSlNQTWc&usp=sharing
- Three themes: 1. Reform, access, engage (City, library, brigade)
- Roles and responsibilities
- Open gov specialists in the mayor’s office 1. For Stacy and Jeff: What are the continuing roles for Jenny and Tim inside the Mayor’s Office? 2. The feeling is that there aren’t any major projects that they are undertaking right now, beyond educating government employees about the value of open data
- Taking a data “census” survey and see what kinds of data the community wants 1. There is a page on ChaWiki, and we can ask people at events
- Taking the data out into the world and training people on seeing the value of that open data is 1. Each month’s hack night at Open Chattanooga can have a particular data theme and it can be focused on talking about that data, where it comes from, what to build with it
