Nov 10 update: Joe's slides are here (2MB PDF document).

Capital Metro already is publishing open data. They've also have embraced open data standards such as GTFS. Soon they will be rolling out a new advanced capability: real-time data for certain transit services.

Joe Iannello  will be joining us to discuss Cap Metro technology plans, including this exciting new service.

Also, Nick Hadjigeorge from our Gov Team will give an update on the results of our candidate questionnaire for the Nov. election.

After the meetup, we'll move across the street to Cenote cafe.

The meetup location is easily accessed by public transportation and has plentiful parking. If you park, however, be sure to move your car if you plan to come to Cenote. The lot is locked when the library closes.

The Open Austin Hack Team will have a check-in from 6:00 - 6:30 pm, in advance of the meetup. If you are a developer or designer who wants to work on hacking projects, please come for the check-in to find out what's going on.

Open Austin hosts a monthly meet-up, to discuss local open government and civic technology issues. Our meet-ups are free and open to the public.
