About us

Open Source San José is an all-volunteer organization that works on civic innovation and government technology projects. Our mission is to make community services more transparent, accessible, and equitable by collaborating with local government and community-based organizations on open-source, free-to-use projects.

Our volunteers are coders, designers, data geeks, policy wonks, community activists, and/or everyday community members. We welcome anyone who is interested in innovating community services - no matter the location of your residency or your professional background.

We hold monthly "civic hack nights" on the first Thursday of each month in where our members convene to work on Open Source San José projects at 6:30pm PST.

Please feel free to join in the global conversation in out Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/rewardinginnovation.
