Pick a legislator, a governor, a vice president, a senator,a president, or someone in power and tell me where they stand on technology. Please site your references and write it in your own words.
I picked San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Mayor Newsom started “Open Data Policy” on the site Datasf.org. This is open data, participation source on an open website. This site will be an interaction between residents and agencies and will share infor. There is an interactive crime map with San Francisco Crimspotting. This is a link that take you to areas where there is crime and what the crime is.
He also supports EveryBlock. This is a breakdown of what neighborhoods are requesting from their government.
Mayor Newsom issued an “Open Data Executive Directive”. This asks that government be open and put anything that is not confidential on “Datasf.org” for all the public to see.
To me this technology will make sure that there is nothing hidden in the government (but of course, there still will be), but this is a good start. He is trying to bring in public partnering with government.
