Official Newsome Campaign – San Francisco App store and App Contest
Recently, the city of San Francisco opened up much of its data to the public on a new website – www.DataSF.org. The idea was that developers and citizens could use the data in creative ways – just like creating an application for the IPhone – to improve city services.
The response has been amazing. Last week, Mayor Newsom announced San Francisco had launched its own City App Store.
Now, the Center for Investigative Reporting’s California Watch reporting team, Spot.Us, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, MAPLight.org, the Gov 2.0 Summit, Sun Light Foundation and others are announcing that they are joining forces to sponsor the first DataSF App Contest on Nov. 7.
The day-long app-building contest is open to developers, journalists, community organizers, policy wonks, students and others interested in building a better San Francisco from more than 100 datasets available on DataSF.org.
