This week we’re in @LongBeachCity as @WhatWorksCities partners, creating user personas & #opendata use cases to address information needs for preventing chronic homelessness & improving access to stable housing.
Lots of big ideas in #LongBeach!

From @SunlightCities Product Lead @GJordanDetamore :
"Burlington's #OpenData policy demonstrates govt commitment to #transparency & openness, and the decision to involve the community in the policymaking process ensures residents are well-represented in City decision making."

All these statements saying Trump is guilty feel like an opportunity to get the Senate on record saying he did what he was charged as doing. A majority of the Senate probably finds him guilty! Get it in a recorded vote, deny trump the exoneration!

By passing an #OpenData policy, the City of Burlington demonstrates public commitment to lasting #transparency & #accountability to residents.
Fostering collaboration by drafting policy in the open & soliciting public feedback are best practices in #Burlington

We envision cities led by govts that empower residents through access to information & participatory practice. We believe in a future where #transparency is established - through sunshine laws and #opendata policy - & practiced in a culture of #accountability & collaboration.

In WIP’s latest blog, @j0ncampbell reports on litigation brought by NGOs that could transform an obscure federal statute from a weapon for industry groups and conspiracy theorists into a bulwark against government misinformation. sunlightfoundation.com/2019/12/30/mas…

"Any organization working with #OpenData will at some point have to determine if the data they’re making available are simply *available*, or if they’re having a real #impact on the people, processes, & systems they describe"

Civic tech & open gov groups often face questions of impact: How does our work actually change society? How can data and technology play a role in building more powerful communities?
*Is* there a good way to evaluate the impact of #civictech? 🤔

Most engagement methods for #OpenData attract data users with experience using data on their own.
But what about those residents without experience using open data?
