This week’s OpenGovHack Night was all about bike share data as Divvy released the trip data and launched the Divvy Data Challenge.
Tom Schenk Jr, Director of Analytics at the City of Chicago, unveiled the City of Chicago’s 2013 Open Data Report.
The Open Data Report overviews the Open Data Executive Order, initiatives accomplished during 2013 such as the launch of the Chicago Data Dictionary, the progress of Chicago’s data portal, and what to expect in 2014.
You can read the report here on the City of Chicago’s website.
