Code Across Austin IV/Geospatial Jam

Event Description

Advance registration is closed. We will accept walk-in registrations at the event, on a space-available basis.

From crime incidents to restaurant inspections, the most interesting and highest value open government data often has a geospatial component: a place, a district, a boundary, or the like.

The “Code Across Austin IV/Geospatial Jam” is a one-day workshop for the community to learn about location-rich data and tools. It is intended for everybody from programmers to spreadsheet jockeys to neighborhood advocates. We will focus on tools and technology for manipulating civic datasets that contain location information.

The event is free and open to the public. It is conducted as part of the national “Code Across America” weekend, sponsored by Code for America. This will be fourth time Austin has participated in a national “Code Across” event.

This event is produced by Open Austin. We are a volunteer community group that advocates for open government, open data, and civic technology. For more information please visit our website: www.open-austin.org
