Discussion:

• Biggest turn-out yet - lots of introductions, lots of catch-up on the status of CfH
• We're an official brigade!
• Now on to finding projects
• Let's look to others for examples
• One is citygram.org (project out of NYC)
• Look to the Midwest and the South for similar scope of projects
• Perhaps do Google Hangouts w/other brigade captains?
• Important to find a gov partner to collaborate with, so we're all on the same page. (Not looking for funding.)
• It's less a competition of making the best app out there, and more, how can we provide best info to citizens
• Find a project/cause you're passionate about and use data to improve it
• -OR-
• Find data available and get an idea for a project/cause that can be improved
• (But where is this data?)
• data.honolulu.gov and data.hawaii.gov
• We want to be the go-to spot for all things data in Hawaii. Let's make that happen.
• We should be the ones telling the Hawaii civic tech story
• Work on projects you're passionate about and use CfH as your umbrella

Action Items:

• Stephan is Pizza Wrangler
• Everyone needs to take initiative. Check out the trello board and snag a task.
• Billy will contact peeps in Oakland about speaking about local civic hacking there
• Potentially be a speaker at a future Wet Ware? (We're interesting and drink beer.)
• Brainstorm ideas for next hackathon
• Next meeting is August 26th. Be there and be square.
