django-councilmatic-notifications

This is a Django app with notification functions for the Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>_, a set of web apps for keeping tabs on local city council. It is built upon the open civic data standard, and ultimately makes Councilmatic easier to re-deploy in new cities.

The Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>_ includes:

• Philly Councilmatic (the original & first Councilmatic, by Mjumbe Poe. since it preceded django-councilmatic, it does not use django-councilmatic)
• Chicago Councilmatic (launched & built on django-councilmatic)
• New York City Councilmatic (launched & built on django-councilmatic)

Councilmatic in your city
