**Project Name:** Access the Data

**Volunteer Opportunity:**

Access the Data is seeking a Python developer to help us with our mission to provide open data to the LA community, and serve as a model for other municipalities to build out their own open data platform.

We're working to adapt the (defunct) lacounts.org code base, which based on an data-source management platform built on Flask, in Python called CKAN. The project is currently tackling the migration of the older Python 2 code to Python 3 and CKAN 2.95. From there, we'll be adapting the original code to the Access the Data visual design principles, and add more functionality to the backend.

**Duration:**

At least a few weeks; open ended.

**Reach us**

We meet Wednesday, 5pm.
