This document discusses open data and the work of SocialBoost, an organization that promotes civic engagement through open data initiatives. It summarizes three of SocialBoost's programs: 1) Helping civic startups develop apps based on open data and funding 10 projects, 2) Networking volunteers and developing local teams in 3 partner cities, and 3) Creating an open data portal and law to make cities smarter and more open through open data. The document outlines how open data can improve public services and transparency when governments make their data available through APIs and when civic groups and developers create apps and services based on this data.
