Data storage utilities and processing pipelines to run on CDP server deployments.
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.
