Description

Welcome to Code Across NYC! On 23 Feb, we will celebrate the venn diagram of Code for America's Code Across America and International Open Data Day. Hashtag: #codeacross For this awesome, one-day civic hack day, we will have a little bit for everyone. If you are interested in building civic apps, we have some high value data sets for you to chew on. If you are interested in developing NYC's 21st Century technology policy, we will have thought leaders for you to debate. If you don't know where to start, we will have previous BigApps winners walk you though the concept of building a civic app. The day will be broken down into three tracks...

1. A mini-race for reuse by taking Code For America's Open Source apps and tailor them to NYC.

End of day requirement: to get one of these apps loaded with NYC.gov data.
