@hannahsgr Please add update using this template (even if you have a pull request)

Progress: "What is the current status of your project? What have you completed and what is left to do?" Blockers: "Difficulties or errors encountered." Availability: "How much time will you have this week to work on this issue?" ETA: "When do you expect this issue to be completed?" Pictures: "Add any pictures of the visual changes made to the site so far."

If you need help, be sure to either:

1. ask for help at your next meeting
2. put a "Status: Help Wanted" label on your issue and pull request
3. put up a request for assistance on the #access-the-data channel.

Also, after reviewing current poll results, I will be modifying one option to make it more consistent with the rest.

What statement best describes your relationship with open-source data? I love open-source data! I use it regularly I’m somewhat familiar with open-source data I don’t use open source data I don’t use open-source data, but I would like to

The second option asks about familiarity with open-access data while the other options ask about usage. To make it more consistent and the options mutually exclusive (it is possible to be familiar with open-access data and have never used it) - I'll be changing the second option to - I have some experience using open-access data.

Progress: Filled out the "Reach Bonnie" form to request access to the Hack for LA LinkedIn page to post the poll. Blockers: Waiting for a response. Availability: 6 hours ETA: Depends on Bonnie's availability.

@hannahsgr The poll looks good, However I recommend adding some hashtags and @ message to increase its reach.

Hashtags we should use #data-analysis #government-data #citizen-science #data-literacy #city-data #open-source #open-source-data

People we should at message in the post

code-for-america code-for-all

Can you think of any that I left off?

[hannahsgr]

Progress: LinkedIn poll approved by Bonnie Blockers: Need access to Hack for LA's LinkedIn account to post poll Availability: 6 hours

Hannah has left the project, the last update from Slack is: Hannah Sangra 11:58 AM Bonnie has approved the LinkedIn poll question, however, no details on how to access the LinkedIn account to make the post were provided. I think you’ll need to put in another request to Bonnie for that info. I did request that info in a Slack thread but I got no response.
