Meeting on Open Data Standards in NYC Today

Submitted by John Geraci on 29 June 2009 - 3:43pm to DIY New York City.

Hey DIY New Yorkers, if you're in the city and you have a free hour at lunchtime today, think about swinging by the discussion on "open data standards" being held by the New York City Council Committee on Technology in Government. Here are the details:

This bill will come before the Technology in Government Committee on Monday, June 29th, 2009 at 1:00pm at 250 Broadway, 14th Floor Hearing Room, NY NY 10007.

Meeting should go for 2 hours, or until 3 PM.

Unfortunately I'm way up at Columbus Circle at the Personal Democracy Forum all day, don't think I'm going to be able to make it all the way down there for the meeting. But it sounds like a pretty important one - if you're interested in open data in NYC, please drop by and give them some input.

And if you go, *please* post notes to DIY NYC afterwards.

I attended, and the testimonials covered what was needed. Gale Brewer
('chair') seemed to clearly understand the importance of the need for
raw data to be provided for citizens to determine their/our needs and
to create their/our own applications using such raw data.

I also had lunch with a few people I did not know, it was worth
attending. There were also a couple people there that took a break
from the PersonalDemForum to testify. One was from Austin, Tx.
