OpenCivic - Knight News Challenge 2009

OpenCivic - Knight News Challenge 2009

We just received an email confirmation from Knight News Challenge 2009 organizers that OpenCivic has been shortlisted in the first round and is invited to submit a full proposal.

Everyone at OpenCivic is thrilled with this news and we would like to thank all of you to review, rate and comment on our application. Also, thank you for taking out time to reading our application because even that counts. We would love to hear from you and seek ideas to grow the OpenCivic collective.

In the last couple of months we have not only been able to get a fabulous group of people to join the initiative but also made significant progress on releasing a initial API. In the coming month we would be not only releasing the initial API but also make progress in involving everyone in the collective through online collaboration tools; so watch out – blog, twitter, wiki, code repository and mailing list.

For the Knight News Challenge 2009 we would need to submit a full proposal by Jan 31. We would love to hear from you on how we can make the application better – so please get in touch.
