We have a hub of sorts for Open Data discovery, but this project is main Open Data repository for HackGreenville Labs contributors to learn and collaborate on issues.
Our purpose is to improve the discovery, promotion, and curation of open Greenville data so people can build new and interesting things more quickly and easily.
We will maintain and promote open APIs which can be referenced in real-time.
We expect others to leverage these APIs to build new open tools, and even new APIs, to reduce manual work and duplicate effort.
The first meeting in 2014 sparked a lot of ideas around meetup events. So, we started a reliable list and API of all the tech meetups/organizations.
Now, we have a events API that queries our own organizations API in order to poll event services, like Meetup.com and Eventbrite.com. The result is local meetup events data is syndicated via an events API in a consistent, query-able format.
We have an example tech meetup calendar, but we hope and expect community members to build all sorts of meetup oriented calendars and tools that fit their needs.
We also have numerous GeoJSON-based open map layers which can be linked to in real-time. The idea is that when map data changes it automatically updates everywhere it's referenced. This also allows for community curation of popular map layers to reduce duplication of effort and to speed up the creation of new maps that leverage these layers.
