While talks from City staff and open data users are always great, the free flowing discussions afterwards are what make open data jams special. The next one will be at Metro Hall on November 5!
We'd love to see you there - luma.com/te9wa9xz

🙆♂️We want to warn apps of breaking changes (to data) before they happen🙆♂️
So we're working on a CKAN extension to do just that. It's not ready yet, but if folks want to lend any thoughts or get involved in the discussion, you can on the CKAN GitHub:
🔗 github.com/ckan/ckan/disc…
