Summary: Many cities have adopted the idea of Open Data - making government data available to be freely used, reused and distributed by anyone. Closely linked to the idea of Open Data is the concept of conducting “hackathons”, where programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers and interested citizens collaborate intensively on software projects or methods to make government data more accessible or useful. Many of the goals associated with Open Data will be furthered by the current ERP Replacement Project. Other Open Data initiatives, including the possibility of conducting a hackathon are under consideration.
