About

Council Data Project is an open-source project dedicated to providing journalists, activists, researchers, and all members of each community we serve with the tools they need to stay informed and hold their Council Members accountable.

By combining and simplifying sources of information on Council meetings and actions, CDP ensures that everyone is empowered to participate in local government.

Each municipality that CDP supports (a CDP instance) has open source maintainers which write code to gather municipality meeting information and compile them into a single resource to then be processed, stored, and made accessible by our general CDP tooling.

Contributing

• cdp-backend: This repo. Contains all the database models, data processing pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code for CDP deployments. Contributions here will be available to all CDP instances. Entirely written in Python.
• cdp-frontend: Contains all of the components used by the web apps to be hosted on GitHub Pages. Contributions here will be available to all CDP instances. Entirely written in TypeScript and React.
• cookiecutter-cdp-deployment: A template to be used by the Python cookiecutter package to create an entirely new deployment repository. This is where cdp-backend and cdp-frontend are imported and used. If you would like to create a new deployment under the councildataproject.github.io domain please log a GitHub issue. If you want to utilize a different domain, simply use the template like any other cookiecutter.
