The City of Evanston is emerging as a leader in Open Government Data. For example, a recent blog posts on Data Standards highlighted the work that the City of Evanston did to integrate their food inspection data with Yelp ( http://devblog.accela.com/2014/09/02/restaurant-scores-sms/ ). A quick search reveals that they have been thinking about this carefully and have had some novel initiatives that all cities can learn from.



We thought it would be great to hear from the City of Evanston itself. Luke Stowe is the Digital Services Coordinator at City of Evanston. He will be presenting the City's view on Open Government Data, give examples of how it has been used, and dialogue with our members to gain our perspectives as well.
