DC Does Public Information Right

Wednesday, September 17. 2008

Yesterday, my colleague Chris von Spiegelfeld shared some impressions of our recent event Web Sites Without Walls. I just encountered another interesting posting on PBS' MediaShift Labs from Amanda Hickman of Gotham Gazette Commenting on a presentation by DC Chief Technical Officer Vivek Kundra, Hickman writes that Washington DC is giving New York City a run for the money:

While New York City busies itself posting PDFs of city agency documents within 10 days of their publication, the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technical Officer is churning out no less than 261 live data feeds and maps, and has mandated that no city agency may acquire software that cannot publish to the data warehouse.

Post-event feedback shows that Vivek Kundra's presentation was extremely popular. We'll be sharing his presentation within the next week or two.
