Apps for America 2: The Data.gov Challenge
Et bemærkelsesværdigt træk ved os mennesker at vi gider arbejde så hårdt for så lidt og altså 'kun' for æren ... Sidstnævnte er dog ikke at kimse af ;-)
/Sik Just do it ... We do it all for the honour ...

What it Is
Apps for America is a special contest we're putting on this year to celebrate the release of Data.gov! We're doing it alongside Google, O'Reilly Media, and TechWeb and the winners will be announced at the Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase in Washington, DC at the end of the Summer.
Why we're doing it
Just as the federal government begins to provide data in Web developer-friendly formats, we're organizing Apps for America 2: The Data.gov Challenge to demonstrate that when government makes data available, it makes itself more accountable and creates more trust and opportunity in its actions. The contest submissions will also show the creativity of developers in designing compelling applications that provide easy access and understanding for the public, while also showing how open data can save the government tens of millions of dollars by engaging the development community in application development at far cheaper rates than traditional government contractors.
How to Compete
Contestants must join the Sunlight Labs Google Group.
Entries must be applications that use at least one of the data sources or content from Data.gov.
Entries can be client applications, web based applications, applications that use the Adobe AIR platform, iPhone apps, Java applications or whatever other kind of platform you'd like to write it in. We use Django orRails for most of ours. There's a caveat here though: judges have to be able to judge the application. Which means building something on an esoteric platform or something that requires lots of strange libraries in order to run won't get easily judged and won't get a very good score as a consequence. So make sure your application is easy for judges to judge when making a platform selection. This means there's a strong preference for web based tools.
While not required, bonus points go to using one of Sunlight's open source libraries, APIs or APIs and libraries of our partners like maplight, opensecrets, and followthemoney.org!
All software you write has to be licensed under any OSI approved license
If you are a candidate, 527 or party committee or other organization that a non-profit cannot give money to, you are not eligible. Your staff is welcome to compete as individuals though. Also ineligible: staff of the Sunlight Foundation.
You can team up however you want. If you win the big prize, we'll work with you to split the money to your specifications within reason. (e.g. if you are a team of 10,000 developers, we're not sending 10,000 $1 checks)
Criteria
Awards will be judged based on the following criteria:
Transparency: Does the app help citizens see things they couldn't see before the app existed?
Permanence: Will the app be usable over a long period of time? Does the idea have survivability?
Design & Visualization: Does the app look great? Does the app visualize data in a new and interesting way?
Prizes
First Place (1): $10,000
Second Place (1): $5,000
Third Place (1): $2,500
Honorable Mention (10): $500
Super bonus visualization prize: We'll be giving out a $2500 prize to the entrant that has the best visualization of the data on data.gov that may be given in addition to the prizes mentioned above.
This year, the first, second and third prize winners (and the visualization prize winner, if that is not one of the first, second or third place winners) will also receive airfare and hotel placement for a trip to Washington, DC. While in Washington, DC, they'll attend our awards ceremony at the Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase by O'Reilly Media and TechWeb. They'll get a chance to demo their applications both at the Awards Ceremony, as well as at a table with the other winners during the convention.
An individual can have as many entries as they'd like, and an individual can win one prize per entry they provide, however, one entry cannot win more than one prize other than the super bonus visualization prize.
Judges
- Tim O'Reilly - Founder, O'Reilly Media
- Chris DiBona - Open Source Program Manager, Google
- Clay Johnson - Director, Sunlight Labs
- Allyson Kapin - Co-Founder Rad Campaign, Women Who Tech
- Cyrus Krohn - Director of Local Programming at Microsoft and former Director of the Republican National Committee's e-Campaign Division
Sorry, but we don't have all the judges yet. We'll let you know who the remaining judges are once we have them committed.
Submission
Submit your app at the Apps for America 2 Submission Form.
Timeline
- You develop apps between now and 11:59:59pm Pacific Time August 7th.
- Between August 7th and August 22nd, our judges will select three finalists.
- Everyone will vote for their favorite of the three finalists from August 24th to September 7th.
- All the winners will be announced at Gov 2.0 Expo in Washington, DC on September 8th at Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase

5 Years Ago Today the Web Mashup Was Born
Tænk sig at der er gået 5 år siden at man fik mashup på hjernen ... Det virker som om det er århundreder siden ... Og dog har man herhjemme ikke helt fået fat i den lange ende endnu ... Der er simplethen ikke nok services herhjemme som det er interessant at brygge på ... Måske det vil ændre sig i den kommende år - man kan kun håbe ...

Five years ... like a century in web time terminology ... A long road travelled but far from the end ... rather a map filled with new untravelled roads have appeared ... Happy mashing!

Five years ago Paul Rademacher reverse engineered Google Maps to put Craigslist homes and rentals on a map on his site. The site essentially pre-launched the map mashup category, because there was no Google Maps API at the time. Even now, Paul’s HousingMaps.com is the prototypical example mashup and still used by many to find their new homes (and our HousingMaps profile is of course one of the first mashups added to our directory back in 2005). Since then, as we’ve seen, the Google Maps API has gone on to be the most popular API to use.

100 Things to do with Google Maps Mashups
Før der kom kort på nettet ... eksisterede der da nogen mashups? Er kort i virkeligheden den egentlige årsag til opfindelsen af mashups? Sikkert ikke men kort har uden tvivl haft en stor indflydelse på udviklingen af mashups og måden vi i det hele taget ser på nettet idag ...

Before maps on the web ... were there any mashups around? Are maps the real reason for creating mashups? Probably not but it sure has a large impact on how we design and see the web today ...

Jack Dangermond at Where 2.0 2010: GIS on the Web–A Big Step
Maps og Apps for alle ... Cloud baseret GIS er godt på vej og måden hvor på vi fremstiller og bruger kort og data idag vil ændre sig over tid ... Desværre bliver det nok ikke den etablerede GIS branche som vi vil se rykke først - istedet vil det være andre spillere som 'bare' synes at kort er en naturlig del af processen og historien og informationen og ... Hvor ville det være fedt om der bare for en gang skyld ville være en professionel GIS leverandør herhjemme som ville tage situationen om til revision og for en gang skyld være på forkant med udviklingen og skabe noget brugbart for alle ...

Summary: Map-based mashups abound these days. Mashups require services that can be mashed up. Location-based mashups need services that provide boundary information. With Web-based mapping providers, you can easily create a map-based mashup with little or no capital investment. In this article, learn how to create a KML boundary service from an ESRI shapefile to be used in mashups.
Map-based mashups are omnipresent nowadays, largely because services that can be mashed up are widely available. For a map-based mashup, you need services that provide cartographic boundaries. The U.S. Census Bureau releases data on state, county, and ZIP code boundaries in Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) shapefile format. In this article, learn how to create a simple service to deliver KML files from ESRI shapefiles using open source software.
Technology and software products
There are many tools and products, both commercial and open source, that you can use to work with spatial data and create mashups. The example in this article uses open source software: PostGIS as the database, GeoTools Java™ library, the OpenLayers mapping library, and Apache Tomcat as the application server.
- PostGIS
- A spatial extension to the open source relational database PostgresSQL. PostGIS supports spatial data types and functions as described by the OpenGIS Simple Features Specification for SQL standard.
- GeoTools
- A Java library to perform manipulation of spatial data. GeoTools includes:
- Support for various spatial data formats (such as ESRI shapefile, Geography Markup Language (GML), MapInfo Interchange Format (MIF)), and spatial transformations.
- Java Topology Suite (JTS) from Vivid Solutions that defines Java classes to represent spatial data.
The example solution uses GeoTools for spatial transformations and JTS for converting the binary large object (BLOB) data from the database to a geometry.
- OpenLayers
- An open source JavaScript mapping library that lets you add dynamic maps to Web pages. You can overlay markers, lines, and polygons on top of base maps. The example in this article uses OpenLayers' capability of adding a layer on top of a base map from a KML file.
- Apache Tomcat
- An open source J2EE JSP and servlet container used in the example to deploy the service.
Download the sample code used in this article. See Resources for the software used in the example.
This section explains what you need to prepare to create the example application in this article.
Figure 1 shows the logical architecture of the example solution.
