On May 17th, citizens from around DC reached out to their neighbors to discuss the problems and ideas they had which could be addressed with technology.

The District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) which is responsible for DC technology infrastructure and provides a Data Catalog, which provides real-time data from multiple agencies to citizens - a catalyst ensuring agencies operate as more responsive, better performing organizations. Apps for Democracy participants will compete to visualize this data in a manner that is most useful for all.

We've created Apps for Democracy to fulfill the DC Government's Office of the Chief Technology Officer's need for visualizing their Data Catalog for the benefit of citizens, visitors and businesses of DC. We hope this model for technology innovation can be adopted by other municipalities in order to strengthen their own technology communities by developing open source solutions for the good of all.
