From: noel hidalgo <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:06:44 -0400 To: [email protected] Subject: [FC-discuss] Municipal Data + NYC 2.0 = BigAppsDevCamp (This weekend & Next!) *BigAppsDevCamp* - Does your next app need municipal data? - Do have a mobile app that will change the way New Yorkers navigate though the city? - Do you want to become a vendor for NYC? - Are you ready to help NYC join the 21st Century? If you answer is yes to any one of those questions, you MUST attend BigAppsDevCamp. Believe it or not, New York City is in the process of opening a bunch of data set so we can develop Web apps, iPhone/Android/Mobile apps, and other amazing things! BUT before they open any data, we have to respond to an " RFPI<http://www.nycedc.com/ProjectsOpportunities/RFPsRFQsRFEIs/Pages/Opportunity48_PC.aspx>"--in other words, tell them what and how we are going to use their data. *The deadline is September 1, just two weeks away*! For the next two Saturdays (8/16 and 8/23), members of the OpenGov NYC meetup < http://bk.ly/mU > will be hosting two workshops to help you navigate this complex process. Choose from one of the next two Saturdays to plug into the following... - Why the city is RFPI<http://www.nycedc.com/ProjectsOpportunities/RFPsRFQsRFEIs/Pages/Opportunity48_PC.aspx>'ing this process and how to format your proposal. - How you can make money by cordinating future Big Apps campaign<http://www.nycedc.com/ProjectsOpportunities/RFPsRFQsRFEIs/Pages/Opportunity49_PC.aspx>s. - Brainstorm ideas for apps with other developers and city dwellers. - How your app can change the city. If you can't attend a workshop and still want to participate, add your idea to Apps for Democracy's NYC BIG APPS Ideas board <http://bk.ly/mP > or help us promote via twitter and the #BigApps<http://search.twitter.com/search?q=BigApps> hashtag. *Saturday, 15 Aug from Noon to 5 pm.* New Work City <http://www.nwcny.com/>, 200 Varick St, Room 507B, Manhattan, RSVP @ http://barcamp.org/BigAppsDevCamp *Saturday, 22 Aug from Noon to 5 pm.* The Change You Want to See <http://thechangeyouwanttosee.com/>, 84 Havemeyer St, Brooklyn, RSVP @ http://barcamp.org/BigAppsDevCamp If you have any questions, please reach out to one of the two organizers. - Noel Hidalgo - @noneck - [email protected] - cell +1.646.867.2263 - Matthew Burton - @matthewburton - [email protected] - cell +1.571.213.0515 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss </blockquote> Distributed poC TINC: Jay Sulzberger <[email protected]> Corresponding Secretary LXNY LXNY is New York's Free Computing Organization. http://www.lxny.org _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
