<p><span>At the same time that technologists have been refining tools to export, manipulate and visualize data, government has been making more datasets, feeds and records available. Simultaneously, reporters are combing through records to break stories, highlight problems, and even suggest solutions.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.centerforinvestigativereporting.org/">California Watch</a> and <a href="../../../">Spot.Us</a> invite you to join us for a day to learn and discuss issues around public data in the State of California.</p>
<p>It will be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp">barcamp</a> style event: All are welcome to come and discuss issues of government data and transparency. Imagine getting help on choosing your next home by viewing crime data and rentals on a map. Or seeing restaurant ratings and violations based on your GPS location. These are just some ideas of what is possible when government data is made public.</p>
