city-council-agenda-bot

Portland's Hackathon NW hosted at North by Code for Portland.

 

This project idea was brought up by the city a few years ago - they wanted broader public input and engagement on the agenda, ideally before the week's meetings began.

 

Now, we have a scraper that scrapes council agenda items from the City of Portland Council Agenda Page and from there it creates a JSON feed that is consumable by anything. For example, there is an IFTTT that takes the JSON feed and posts it to twitter and to facebook, and we are currently working on a bot that can post to reddit.
