****

The Illinois Open Technology Challenge brings governments, developers, and
communities together in a common mission to use public data to create
digital tools that service civic needs and promote economic development.****

** **

This multi-month initiative aims to make Illinois’ open data platform,
Data.Illinois.Gov, available statewide, and host government trainings,
community meetings and hackathons that will bring together developers in
technology with civic-minded individuals and organizations. Their goal is
to help develop a real community where we will see sustainable civic
results and developers will prosper.****

** **

The State of Illinois, Illinois Science & Technology Coalition, The Chicago
Community Trust, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Motorola
Mobility Foundation, and Google will generously support at least $75,000 in
total prize money awarded to any individual or team of individuals for
developing innovative software applications that utilize open government
data to best address the challenges in one of our communities: Bellville,
Champaign, Rockford and South Suburbs.****

** **

The broad criteria is as follows:****

** **

Use at least one dataset from www.data.illinois.gov,
www.metrochicagodata.org, or www.ssatlas.org. Use and/or publish as much
opens source code as possible. Attempt to solve a community problem. The
first step in all of this is to come together as a community to share code,
review data, and talk about what issues we want to solve through technology.
