summary
City IT launches a beta open data portal in three months and coders immediately build vantrash.ca, which exports personal pickup calendars to iPhone/Outlook and sends email or Twitter reminders, solving missed garbage days. A crowdsourced parking app maps disabled stalls and submits photos for enforcement; a Microsoft-backed project turns city datasets into a TaxiCity game; students produce 14 graffiti mashups and a firm models sea-level rise. Legal terms slow progress, and true success is internal apps and separate data from vendor deployments.
