Code Across Marin will be a panel discussion to help build awareness about “open data,” a form of information that lends itself to free innovation and app development. The panelists are Kate Colin (Councilmember, City of San Rafael), Reed Ducey-Gibbs (Code for America fellow), Eddie Tejeda (CEO/Co-Founder of Civic Insight), Erin Cochran (Marin County H&HS), and Maureen Parton (Aide to Supervisor Kate Sears). This broad range of elected officials, municipal staff, coders, and technologists will explore what open data is and what it can do for us. They will also address your questions and suggestions sent ahead of time to brigade@codeformarin.org. Question topics should focus on ways to improve government-public communications, infrastructure, information requests, civic engagement, and the accessibility of community resources. The resulting dialog should help build the foundation for attracting developers to build the apps Marin needs–apps built specifically for our towns and neighborhoods. In the spirit of open data, this event is free to the public and will have a lengthy public Q+A to address all questions and concerns.
Public input is needed. Email brigade@codeformarin.org with your questions and discussion suggestions. Input during the Q+A is also encouraged, as local knowledge and perspective will be vital to the discussion. It’s the perfect time to let your voice be heard as well as network with your neighbors.
RSVP to https://codeacrossmarin.eventbrite.com and email your questions and suggestions to brigade@codeformarin.org to add to the panel discussion topics.
