In a great move for open source development using real-world, available data, Mayor Bloomberg has announced (http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/clay-dillow/culture-buffet/bloomberg-launches-contest-apps-employing-nyc-agency-data) that “all public city data will eventually be housed in a machine-readable format” and The Big Apps contest will work through the recently announced ".nyc" domain. http://www.brandflakesforbreakfast.com/2009/06/nyc-play-with-our-data-and-make-cool.html What’s also interesting here is the new city-level TLD of .nyc; more info on this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.nyc [.sig snipped] The contents of this email (and any attachments) are confidential and may be legally privileged.
