All the work that was done this weekend at the Democracy Hackathon distributed across several repos.

Repositories:

• https://github.com/mjumbewu/django-councilmatic
  https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic (upstream)

  • This is the core of the new iteration of councilmatic. It is the basis on which chicago.councilmatic.org and nyc.councilmatic.org are built. It uses the OpenCivicData format to pull in information.

• https://github.com/mjumbewu/phl-ocd-api

  • This is a version of the OCD API that's set up and ready to be deployed. It has the Philadelphia City Council District shape data included.

• https://github.com/mjumbewu/imago
  https://github.com/opencivicdata/imago (upstream)

  • This is the Django app that serves as the OCD API server.

• https://github.com/mjumbewu/philly-councilmatic (branch phl-councilmatic-3)

  • This is a fork of the councilmatic-starter-template project. So far, only cosmetic aspects have been configured — setting up the names of things in Philadelphia, adding a liberty bell, etc.

• https://github.com/mjumbewu/councilmatic-starter-template
  https://github.com/datamade/councilmatic-starter-template (upstream)

  • This is intended to be the starting point for a new councilmatic instance. We made a few changes that we should submit as pull requests upstream. When configuring the philly-councilmatic project, if there's something that all new instances would benefit from, a change should be made in this starter project and pulled into Philly.

Documentation & Resources:

• http://docs.opencivicdata.org/
• https://github.com/opencivicdata
• http://ocd.datamade.us/jurisdictions/ (one of the many endpoints in the server)

The Philly instance getting updated! Cory and Tk did some awesome work on a facelift a few months back that's finally going live. The project is at http://philly-councilmatic.herokuapp.com until all the kinks are worked out, then it will be switched over to http://philly.councilmatic.org/.

Soon, we're going to start work on a proper project website that will occupy http://www.councilmatic.org/ and link to city-specific Councilmatic instances that are live or in development.

There has been a ton of awesome work on the project in the bootstrap-templates branch, thanks to Forrest Gregg and Derek Eder from http://opencityapps.org/ in Chicago. We need some help to update the Philly instance to pull in the changes!
