Civic Software
Please note that this page is being transitioned to the Civic Commons Marketplace
A primary goal of Civic Commons is to make it easy for jurisdictions at all levels to deploy low-cost, reusable software, using open standards, open protocols, and open source code wherever possible. Pooling resources reduces costs and avoids duplicated effort; equally importantly, it helps make civic IT expertise more cumulative and portable across jurisdictions, for civil servants, for citizens, and for vendors.
Civic Commons will initially focus on working with government entities to identify, document, and relicense technology currently in use. As a start, projects that have been prepared for sharing are then listed here in the Civic Commons directory of applications so that other government entities can find applications they need, as well as contribute their own.
If you would like to suggest a technology or category here, please get involved and contact us or contribute directly to the list below. Â
