Hack To the Future III notes

• Load historical data int the database

  • Future visualization

• Clean up documentation, create website, etc.

• Other issues captured on Github

• Fill ungeocoded list

• Investigate how to integrate with citygram (https://github.com/codeforamerica/citygram)

  • CityGram hosts notifications
  • hookup to citygram services https://github.com/citygram/citygram-services

• Names

• Kokoke

• Kaulu

• Other potential data to share

  • Art Galleries
  • Food Trucks
    • Need to find food truck info (Poni Askew?)
    • Follow on twitter (geocode tweets)
    • roaminghunger.com/hnl
  • New Businesses

• Find a connection at the police department

• Can CitySDK be used for geo-decoding?

• Separate the geocoding API

• Write scripts/vagrant/ansible to automate startup

• Migrate to amazon aws from Digital Ocean

• Load historical data into the database

The group (George Lee, Melody Wolk, Tiffany Lo, McKay Davis) discussed utilizing the HiTraffic.org API created by George Lee for the latest DevLeague cohort. We explored the idea that this functionality could be expanded in the future to offer geo-coding of other local resources such as: food trucks, art galleries/murals, new businesses, and real-time crime data. Other long term goals include: completing the iOS and Android app with push notifications, importing the entire historical traffic database, handling non-parsed data. We identified the immediate goal of hosting the functionality on AWS and creating the data bridge with Citygram via the citygram-services repo.

Tasks:

• McKay - Host on AWS
• George - Citygram-services data bridge
• George + McKay - Determine architecture split of: data aggregation, geocoding, citygram-services, API.
• Melody - Identify viable datasets and sources of such data
• Tiffany - Learn programming stack/node.js
