Yesterday I was part of a press conference by Mayor Gavin Newsom promoting DataSF.org, which is one of San Francisco’s first steps at opening up. Tim O’Reilly also spoke and made the point to me afterward that as he dives deep into every part of the intersection of technology and government he’s most excited about the prospect for change at the city level. Here are some pictures from the event. I think we’ll see more along these lines, and more WordPress, for San Francisco in the future. ¶

Matt, you might be interested to see what we did in DC once we had an open data catalog for the city:

Check out the App Directory.
Also, DC’s data catalog is here: http://data.octo.dc.gov
