This past week, Code for America book released their new book, Beyond Transparency, which I contributed to!
I am humbled and grateful to Code For America for the opportunity in general, and Brett Goldstein and Lauren Dyson for specifically thinking of me and our journey at the city where I work.
It is for others to do things like review or promote the book (although I will tell you, though I won’t judge my own work, others did a wicked awesome job).
The thing that most inspires me about the book is that all the authors came together from a huge diversity of backgrounds, political leanings, and places of work — and we all, in some way, are working with open data to build some sort of value, whether from a staff, political, business, or community organizer level.
Check out the website for more info! Or, jump in and read the book online, download the book for free as a PDF, or, you can buy a printed copy on Amazon.
Enjoy!
