This document summarizes Nick Grossman's presentation about OpenBlock and open source projects. OpenBlock is an open source hyper-local data platform that allows newspapers and news organizations to deploy their own instance to collect and map local news and data. It aims to become easier for more organizations to use. OpenPlans is a nonprofit that created OpenBlock to support civic engagement and open government through open source tools. Open source was discussed as a long term strategy that requires planning features, documentation, code sharing, and community engagement to be sustainable.
