What is Open Savannah?
We visualize public data and deploy civic apps.
Open Savannah is a civic organization of local developers, designers, data geeks and ordinary residents who volunteer to help Coastal Georgia's public agencies and social enterprises adopt open web technologies. We're a citizen-driven platform for government innovation, and we use open data, design and creative technology as a mode for civic engagement.
We pull together Greater Savannah's best resources to amplify our collective civic impact.
A Code for America Brigade
Open Savannah is only one among dozens of local volunteer groups that are part of the larger Code for America ecosystem.
Catalyzing the Open Data Economy
Accessible public data will enable the creation of local tech startups that solve real world problems.
Open Savannah is for everyone
If you think you won't fit in because you don't consider yourself a 'tech person,' we assure you there are plenty of ways to help out. For what it's worth, half of our Leadership Team doesn't know how to code, either!
