Open data is wonderful but simply making the data available is not enough. News media, civic hackers, and advocacy groups have done a lot of great work to use open data to expose inefficiencies in government expenditures, highlight the role of SuperPACs on campaign financing and more. Unfortunately, a lot of this analysis requires knowing how to write code, from writing SQL queries to developing D3-based visualizations in Javascript. Open data should be accessible to people who don't know how to code. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED
