An Incomplete List of Chicago Civic Technology Groups
As part of our work, the Smart Chicago Collaborative makes a lot of introductions. Chicago has a deep bench of civic innovation talent with multiple organizations working in tandem to use the power of technology to help solve problems. There are also a number of mailing lists and meetup groups that are in the civic innovation space. To help get people who are interested in the space more acquainted, we’ve put together a list of mailing lists, events, and resources for people who want to get more involved.

OpenGov Hack Night: Building a Vision for a Transit Future (Part 2)
This presentation was rather long, so we’ve split this into two posts. The first one has to do with the Transit Future policy itself. This post is about the process used to build the Transit Future site.
On the April 15th OpenGov Hack Night, Ed Oser with Center for Neighborhood Technologies and OpenCity Apps presented their work on both the Transit Future plan and the web app that shows it off.
The Vision for Our Transit Future Site was built by Juan-Pablo Valez and Nick Dorian using the Code for America Annual Report template as a base.
