We are an all volunteer group. Open Cleveland evolved out of the 2014 National Day of Civic Hacking. Open Cleveland is a group of people, first and foremost. We also call ourselves technologists, planners, designers, doers, thinkers, and activists. Every third Wednesday we actively work together to improve the City of Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio using open data and web technology to support our efforts. We want to listen to you and build something together with you; not FOR you.
Open Cleveland is an affiliate of the Alliance for Civic Technologists, using our skills to make their cities and their services for residents better.
Open Cleveland holds its leadership and participants to a Code of Conduct which applies to our meetups, events, and digital forums. Read our Code of Conduct.
Open Cleveland is focused on promoting access to and usage of civic data by all Clevelanders to make our great city even better. Read Open Cleveland's 2015 strategic plan.
