100 Automations

A project that showcases automations and microservices that reduce repetitive work in open source development; a project where anyone can create, collaborate on, and get credit for open source automations that assist the wider Civic Tech community. 100Automations welcomes ideas in all stages, from the half-baked to the fully researched, as well as anything in between.

The name derives from the project's goal to reach 100 developed automations in our first twelve months.

We would love for you to join us!

Origins

This project wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the incredible work being done on a variety of civic tech open sources projects at Hack for LA. As we grow as an organization we are trying to make sure we share learnings with each other and with the larger civic tech and open source communities. This project is one of the ways we are doing that.

Special Mentions

Joel Parker Henderson, Jared Fowler, John Darragh, Sophia Alice, and the Operations Community of Practice at Hack for LA for helping review automations, validate use cases, and for ongoing and valued advice on developing the project.

Hack for LA’s website team for sharing their resources and learnings to help develop and design the project.
