A little about kind of how San Francisco came in in terms of actually ading the officer. More broadly how do you think San Francisco compares and what are some of the other cities that are doing really well in terms of open data . I should be clear. When San Francisco is third, we have a pact. Ill add to that actually. Whats great in San Francisco is there is not just going to be a chief data officer. There is also the office of civic innovation. Jays team, shannons team. By having both of those units in place i think there is going to be a really powerful team. Because you cant just open up the data. You have to do things like this, where you get the Community Together or you have people actually talking about it because the demand side, as we were talking about it, will be there because there is going to be someone there. There have to be people working with it who are getting out there. I think this is what this city is going to be really powerful. In terms of other cities doing as
Government to engage entrepreneurs and innovators across all the different sectors. For those of you familiar with the history of the Health Data Initiative launched by then the hhs health and Human Services chief Technology Officer todd park, we sought to have a Health Data Palooza proceeded by health data jambs or modeling sessions, jams sounded more fun, we can invite entrepreneurs in and see what can be done and created Real Products within a few months. That is being rolled out at education, energy, treasury, u. S. Aid, other agencies as well. These programs are celebrating the use of open data and hopefully will provide some additional support. I think there are even folks here who have been part of these events. Were excited for that continued support and hope you can all join this initiative in the neutral. Future. So, earlier you were talking a little about kind of how San Francisco came in in terms of actually ading the officer. More broadly how do you think San Francisco com
One of our biggest pin points or struggles has been with the legislation and the old models of the [inaudible] the regulations and laws which are being slowly worked on through the legal departments and the San Franciscos legal department. But essentially we found the experience through Innovation Office has been driving the initiatives through and helping us develop and the data sets have bon become cleaner. They have become easier for us to use and the process has become a lot more efficient. School. Cool. I was told if you have a question you should line up at that microphone right there. If youre coming up no, he did youant [speaker not understood]. I dont have a question. I wanted to comment on this. I think Something Else is really unique and maybe one of the Untold Stories or not told so much stories about the impact of open data is really the companies that are being formed. And as you mentioned earlier, theyre a Sustainable Company and this is being powered by open data and mo

Two data liberations. So, that is the way in which we are approaching from a strategy perspective, the ultimate impact to our customers. One super quick. One thing the city of San Francisco or big cities or federal, right, the other smaller cities, smaller cities have smaller budgets. Having a structure to support all this open data takes a lot of money. So, when these small cities are thinking about this, they should think about a way of somehow equalizing because they are putting into having these open data team, right . So, what does make sense . This is kind of an open question to get your point of view. Do you want to take that, shannon . I think that there is actually quite ah few examples. We can probably talk to this more with smaller cities that are making open data efforts. But what i would say is that its proven more than the value of the investment. The return that weve gotten just by opening up the data has actually given back more. So, that would be my short answer to it,
