“Get the Apps for Democracy Widget!”
W. David Stephenson
October 14th, 2008

Way to go, you guys! The UK’s “Show Us a Better Way” competition has been such a great way to leverage “wisdom of crowds” that it’s wonderful you’ve brought the concept to this side of the pond. Hope that you’ll copy another aspect of their approach and make all of the entries public and this web site as they are received: that way the public is a winner right off the bat because of getting great ideas out there, and they’ll hopefully spawn more ideas!

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.

RSVP to Build Apps for Democracy!

iStrategyLabs is a digital agency focused on providing clients with interactive strategy, experiential marketing and content creation services. 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. Please contact Peter Corbett, CEO, iStrategyLabs with any questions regarding this contest, or to run one in your city.
