Hacks/Hackers ATX - Andrew Dupont: Working with Government Data
Austin American Statesman (map)
Join Hacks/Hackers ATX on Feb. 17 at 6:30pm as Andrew Dupont (of Gowalla) talks about using government data and a side project he developed called Filibusted. We know that the Internet can be used to donate to political candidates. Or make fun of them. But, with a little help from citizens, it can also make government work better. First, we’ll look at a handful of sites that aggregate government data and present it in useful ways. Then we’ll explore the process of distilling government data dumps and APIs to build our own sites.
We'll be at the Austin American-Statesman this time. Hope you can make it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Travis SwicegoodInteresting talk on the data side of government and how both citizen and professional journalists can help expose data on the government.

Andrew's presentation was informative and entertaining. An impressive knowledge of the facts and facade of political process, current resources, capabilities and limitations of using the net to illuminate the difference, and a straight forward call for action. -

Chris TomlinsonAndrew gave a very thoughtful presentation and Fillibusted is a great project. As a hack, I would have liked to hear more about how difficult it was to build and what skills were required.
