I'd like to use government data to make an iPhone mobile app [[native]] for
my programming portfolio.
Has anyone worked with the socrata open data?
they manage the sf open data website... there's interesting stuff there,
like all the films that were filmed in SF, and their locations and actors,
etc.
It would be a fun geolocation app.
would anyone be interested in collaborating?

Geo apps are an exasperating wonder where using other peoples elements can
be either heaven or worse than hell.
so you end up doomed to roll your own code for stuff that should be
reusable code. Full disclosure- I am NOT your level of coder- I've just
done my share of being another pair of eyes on code others were whacking at.

Cool,
Is anyone going to the next Noisebridge Collaborative Coding night?
It's Monday evening.
I'm planning on using
https://data.sfgov.org/
to create an iPhone app and use Parse as a back-end. If there are any
people out there interested in building their portfolio for the web, this
would be a cool project to work on with me.

Wow, what an excellent site, thanks Romy! It seems like they take datasets,
process them, and provide an API that allows one to query the dataset, and
have like 21,000 datasets:
https://opendata.socrata.com/browse
Many of the datasets are raw, i.e. comprised of rows and columns of data,
so they should be easy to pull via a REST call and then do whatever kind of
visualization and analysis you'd like within objective C.
Do you have any specific datasets in mind? Machine learning meetups have
restarted and we're going to meet next some time in January. It could be a
good opportunity for you to find people to work on your app with!

From the https://data.sfgov.org/ I wanted to look at
the SF311 data with
two objectives.
1) See if the response time between reports made and report closes varies
geographically within the city. I don't know any objective C, but was
thinking about massaging the data with python. That sounds quite doable.
2) looking at if reporting rates vary geographically in the City. As if
I am asking, are there some neighborhoods characterized by squeaky wheels
and others that hardly bother to report? Unfortunately I''m conceptually
stuck at the issue, how do I distinguish between the case that says are
less reports in a geography because there are less issues, and the theory
that says a neighborhood gets more services because the people there are
more astute or involved in raising their issues.
Thanks for the interest.

Thanks mike! It didn't occur to me to chat with the machine learning folks.
That's a great idea!
It's nice I think a lot of data can also be downloaded as a big Json or excel file so
it doesn't have to be called on the rest API as well
