We are pleased to announce our Hackstock for #LocalGov Winners:
Grand Prize ($2,000) – Guido Stein proposed a means for internal or external queries of public information, ranging from physical assets (sign posts) to capital improvement projects, to determine how much money is being spent based on geography. Using this app, a manager could show funds being spent on a particular neighborhood or district.
First Prize ($1,500) – Stephen Cook proposed a voter precinct application for delivering voter turn-out information based on the location of the polling place. This would help elections commissions and voters determine appropriate locations to maximize voter turn-out.
Second Prize ($750) – Calvin Metcalf proposed a back-end tool to help get data sets out to mobile work crews for disconnected field work. Personnel would be able to download the most recent and appropriate data sets and use their mobile devices regardless of the mobile platform.
We thank Esri and MindMixer for their sponsorship of ICMA's first hackathon.
