What is Code for San Jose?

We've found it helpful to be clear on what Code for San José is, and what it isn't:

Code for San José is:

• a place people gather to work on open-source projects that benefit our community

Code for San José is not:

• an organization that teaches people how to code

• always prepared to pair you with a project on day one. That said, it's a good idea to look through the open data (http://www.codeforsanjose.com/docs/data/) available to us and our projects (http://www.codeforsanjose.com/docs/projects/), and start thinking about a project you might find interesting to work on.

If you are new to Code for San José, please:
