Spring Speaking Schedule Re: Technology for Transparency in The New York State Senate

Andrew Hoppin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:19:23 +0000

The New York State Senate gets a lot of bad press. There is, however, a great deal of work going on behind the scenes to help make the Senate as an institution more transparent, efficient, and participatory for the long-haul. This Spring, we’ll be telling that side of the #NYSenate story to audiences ranging from New York City high school students to Federal government executives.

What I hope to get from Open 311 DevCamp…

Andrew Hoppin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:37:31 +0000

I’m excited about Open 311 DevCamp coming up on October 24th… Here’s what I hope we can map out at the event:

How to allow 311 data to flow Local <–> State, enabling new 311 data to be sourced from constituents in NY State via NYSenate.gov, and also helping Senators to leverage 311 data to better serve their constituents.
How to help smaller cities and towns in New York State to have a viable 311 service at low cost, potentially with State support and/or coordination.
