This will be a ‘First Steps’ meeting with two topics on our agenda. The first will be a discussion on whether we should participate in a local Open311 initiative.

an upcoming Open Data Challenge: https://www.kaggle.com/c/see-click-predict-fix

The second matter will be a discussion whether we’d like to be involved in any data *collection* work, and if so, with what common theme. Possible ideas include:

bicycling
energy related
transit
your suggestions

If you have any questions or suggestions, you can let me know at mita@hackf.org
