OSCON 2010: Mayor Sam Adams
summary
Portland adopts an open source policy last September that mandates opening city data and code and pursuing open-source procurement. A Civic apps program and awards engage about a dozen local government units and spark reusable tools. The city manages roughly $9.7 billion a year across 35–40 overlapping government layers, touts 35 breweries, and touts affordability on the West Coast while partnering with Code for America and the Open Source Lab to make municipal data actionable.
