Apps for America 2: The Data.gov Challenge

Submitted by jeffreybarke on 26 May 2009 - 6:46pm to DIYcity Main Group.

Just as the federal government begins to provide data in Web developer-friendly formats, we're organizing Apps for America 2: The Data.gov Challenge to demonstrate that when government makes data available, it makes itself more accountable and creates more trust and opportunity in its actions. The contest submissions will also show the creativity of developers in designing compelling applications that provide easy access and understanding for the public, while also showing how open data can save the government tens of millions of dollars by engaging the development community in application development at far cheaper rates than traditional government contractors.

  • First Place (1): $10,000
  • Second Place (1): $5,000
  • Third Place (1): $2,500
  • Honorable Mention (10): $500

Nice. Our technology had been progressing from time to time including technology, software applications, gadgets and even in health concerns. One example of progression in healthcare is the Essiac Tea. Essiac an herbal tea that has ingredients known to be good for one’s health, such as red clover. Essiac is touted as an herbal remedy good for treating cancer, and it won't send you running for payday loans with no faxing for it. Billy Best proclaimed its efficacy. Billy claims that he cured himself of his Hodgkins without low interest loans for chemo and thorough the use of Essiac.
