State of Utah Open Data
- rmason 12y agoHere are Michigan's data sets: https://data.michigan.gov/browse https://data.michigan.gov/browse Curious if Utah has a statewide civic hackathon like we do here in Michigan http://www.codemichigan.com http://www.codemichigan.com

- thaddeusmt 12y agoSalt Lake City (and apparently all of Utah?) is lucky enough to have some serious open data advocates actually employed in the government. Props to Open Salt Lake and everyone involved for working on the portal and supporting open and transparent government. We "pay" for this government data, after all, so it's great when it's made easily accessible. I attended a civic data hackathon once, and was pleasantly surprised at the resulting products. My favorite was a "slumlord" app, which mashed up property ownership vs building code violations (or something like that). It was a fun change of pace from a typical hackathon and the requisite dating/shopping/photo sharing apps.
