Open Data Collaboration and Community Needs
19 Dec - 06:30 PM
Louisville, United States
Join us for a conversation about open data in Louisville. We'll start with an overview of Louisville's Open Data Platform by the city's Data Officer Michael Schnuerle, then discuss the following.
How to use the open data site and what documents may be needed for that. Docs on site, docs on github allowing for comments/changes?
Defining a good process for requesting more data. Currently there is a request form on the open data site, we can look at open records requests, and social media.
Call for public collaboration on projects that align with open data, innovation, and community needs. The same request form is used for this, and we discover these now at public events like this, hackathons, etc. We'd also like to convene Data User groups on specific topics per the Sunlight Foundation's Playbook.
How our office can help fund projects, like it has a few times in the past. We have a Civic Innovation Fund at the Community Foundation of Louisville, with final approval for spending coming from the Mayor. Some projects can be funded by specific grants from external companies, universities, or organizations.
Sharing new mobility data, like Bird and Lime scooter information with the public. See our open data set. Currently we have origin and destination information. What level of detail should be shared as open data to be granular enough for analysis and research while still protecting rider privacy? Block level, neighborhood level, something else?
This is the first of quarterly events in 2019 hosted by the city around open data and community needs.

Indigitous Hackathon
20 Oct - 09:00 AM
Louisville, United States
ABOUT
Indigitous is a global missional hackathon on October 20-21, 2018 around the world and online.
Many of us have a heart to contribute to constructive solutions, wishing we could do something about the many challenges of our world such as poverty, abuse, addiction, security, and other issues. These big problems are too much for any one of us – but not too big for all of us.
Indigitous #Hack is a unique opportunity to convene people from around the world to collaborate together on Christian missional technology projects that have long-term impact. #Hack calls anyone who is willing to serve to come create, use and leverage technologies to advance the Gospel, becoming “digital missionaries” from right where they are.
Collaboration is vital across the global Church and there's a place for all of us.
