Unedollar kicks of Apps For Texas Today. The launch page was hosted www.appsfortexas.org using Unbounce. Last year getting involved at FeedScoop Events and other government technology events we ran into Open Data and DC catalog, looking at which we got completely excited to do the same in Texas. And here we go we ,now have open data for Texas available at Texas.Gov and we are trying to execute an event similar to Apps for Democracy. This event focuses in involving citizens for developing wide variety of apps leveraging the open data sets available with Texas government agencies. Unedollar is all excited to pursue this event as is the motto of the company to reduce money spent on technology using better process, technology and available free resources and here we are again “Trying to save every dollar we can”.
A brief over of this event:
We would be coordinating with Gov agencies, local bodies supporting open source, many other technical support groups to organize a Dev Camp and leverage the developers talent to bring out the best apps (mobile, web). This is a contest which has reward of money and fame. The top winners choosen by the user polls and elected judges will be awarded the cash prizes in public and the fame received in participation is invaluable. We encourage all the developers out their to get engaged in this event and Rock Apps for Texas!
