The White House's OSTP is inviting the public to comment on open-access policies to federally funded research.
We at EDGI support efforts to make data from federally funded research more available, and accessible.
Submit comments on or by March 6th:

This week we’re in @LongBeachCity as @WhatWorksCities partners, creating user personas & #opendata use cases to address information needs for preventing chronic homelessness & improving access to stable housing.
Lots of big ideas in #LongBeach!

All these statements saying Trump is guilty feel like an opportunity to get the Senate on record saying he did what he was charged as doing. A majority of the Senate probably finds him guilty! Get it in a recorded vote, deny trump the exoneration!

Civic tech & open gov groups often face questions of impact: How does our work actually change society? How can data and technology play a role in building more powerful communities?
*Is* there a good way to evaluate the impact of #civictech? 🤔

Most engagement methods for #OpenData attract data users with experience using data on their own.
But what about those residents without experience using open data?
