OpenCity - Telling stories with data(Chicago open data web applications)

While a part of the Open Data community, I have found success in telling a few stories about what was happening in the city of Chicago. That success came from existing working, and newly formed community, relationships. This presentation will provide a perspective of the community, how it helps building a career, how it helps in fostering relationships, and the value it offers to technology, and other, communities.

Topics covered will include:

• What is meant by telling stories with data

• What to expect once a story is in the wild

• Where to find and build a team

• Review http://www.chicagolobbyists.org/ example

• Review http://www.crimeinchicago.org/ example

• Tools

• Questions
