Once again, it's time for our periodic gathering of local civic software and data supporters.

Our main presentation this month will be from Kevin Curry, Program Director of the Code for America Brigade. Open Austin is a member of the CfA Brigade. Kevin will talk about the Brigade program, some of the stories of success for brigades around the country, and some of the resources available to us through the Brigade program.

We'll have an update on the City of Austin 311 project, and what we're doing to try to ensure open access to 311 data and APIs.

We'll have an update on Open Austin business, including a first peek at the new website under development.

Here is the tentative agenda:

  • Welcome, Announcements
  • City Issues Update (311, Innovation Office) -- Chip Rosenthal
  • Website Redesign Update -- Paul M. Davis
  • Presentation: Code for America Brigade -- Kevin Curry
  • Open Floor

Afterwards, we will adjourn to continue the discussion at: Pour House Pub, 6701 Burnet Rd (link).

We will attempt run a Google Hangout (video chat) during the event. Link here.
