Matt,

below is an excellent article which I'm referencing on the 15th,

perhaps you can add your own commentary based on your own experience and
initiatives?

 City governance and open-source programming never seemed like a likely
marriage. However, emerging initiatives have been working towards it, and
have received a boost of popular support through Obama’s call for open
government. When NYC’s Mayor Bloomberg launched the Big Apps competition
this past June, he invited individuals and groups to program applications
that make government data sets accessible to the public — solidifying that
technology can contribute to improved quality of life. Applications created
in response to Bloomberg’s decisions will join the crowd-sourced initiatives
that already exist in New York City, and already explore methods that can
offer residents not only information, but a place to gain a sense of
community, to exchange ideas and to visualize space digitally.
