Post that back up. Even if youre not crowd sourcing new things, you can definitely crowd source quality of a data set that way. Yeah, its been a really great experience working with 100 plus and motion loft. Just to respond, i think that this is a whole new opportunity actually what youre talking about. In addition to reaching out to the private sector to generate more data sets as you just mentioned, theres also the opportunity to have better data sets from the work that youve done, scrubbing them and harmonizing them. I think there is also this really great opportunity to generate whole new types of data sets like motion loft is doing. And i think that this is going to present something kind of back to the city, showing where some of our gaps are and hopefully filling in some of those gaps with those data sets. So, i think that there is something about having more city data sets, existing data sets as well as creating new types of data. This is really exciting for us. Were going to t
Mind, i want to do a show of hands. I get this question a lot in terms of how much of the work is getting out there. How many of you have ever heard of the green button, a green button . Most of the panelists and audience members. Its a good thing were here. It is a initiative launched by the white house but industry led.

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 well, chicago is doing some really interesting stuff. Scary c
These events. Were excited for that continued support and hope you can all join this initiative in the neutral. Future.
