Open Savannah:
A Manifesto
2. Who are we?
➔ Citizens
➔ Volunteers
➔ Locals of all backgrounds
➔ Technologists
➔ Civil Servants
➔ Changemakers
8. Efficient and effective local
government isn’t optional
➔ Especially on local-level, in cities, budget =
tighter than ever, with stakes higher, too.
➔ Tradition and bureaucracy stand in the way
of progress
➔ Technology adaptation is slow
9. How do we fix
it? And how do we keep Savannah
competitive with other cities high
quality-of-life for all?
10. Open data + civic tech =
apps and technologies that
enhance gov’t. efficiency.
