Datathon: PDF Liberation Dayton
Details
- Low key, laid back event *
Most government data is locked up in unusable PDFs. Let's get together and use our tech know-how to free the data. We can use this data to improve our city through web services, mobile and web apps. It should be a lot of fun.
• This is a world-wide event. See http://pdfliberation.wordpress.com/.
• We're pursuing the House Financial Disclosures Challenge (https://github.com/pdfliberation/pdf-hackathon/blob/master/challenges/house-financial-disclosures.md) Option #1 - Electronically Submitted Reports.
• Sample files (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/60o6nxoayve6f14/pCzypdUfUy/Electronic) in Dropbox
• Template files (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bstyhuph6iyitl0/g0gYUoo0xG) in Dropbox for multiple years
We'll provide some drinks, coffee, snacks. Lunch will be on your own (2nd Street Market (https://plus.google.com/111289352754847331205/about?gl=us&hl=en) is very close by).
Max team size is 5.
Organized by the Sunlight Foundation (http://sunlightfoundation.com)
