<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">This multi-month initiative aims to make Illinois’ open data platform, <a href="http://Data.Illinois.Gov" target="_blank">Data.Illinois.Gov</a>, 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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
