TransportationCamp West is a wrap
Sunday morning with Jennifer Pahlka
Code for America founder Jennifer Pahlka spoke Sunday morning at TransportationCamp West about her experience working with government agencies on opening data streams, as well as Code for America’s mission to build open-source applications for cities.
TransportationCamp has truly benefitted from the ever-present Code for America fellows. They showed up en mass to the Third Thursdays kickoff happy hour, led variety of #Transpo sessions over the weekend, and even authored an Ignite talk (a great one on a car-free family from Aaron Ogle).
Note to friends of #Transpo: Code for America is currently accepting applications for 2012 Fellowships. Apply today and maybe tomorrow you too can look this cool.
