A well-deserved congratulations to the team at CiviData on the Beta launch of their new local government data aggregation and comparison tool. After several months of iteration, the product is being launched to invitees only. If you are an employee of a local or state government and want a better understanding of how your services compare to other localities, you can sign up to join the free Beta test by visiting the CiviData website.

You can learn more about the project here.

Well, Ruby on Ales came and went. Based on the feedback I received from attendees and speakers, everyone had a pretty good time. I’m pretty amazed that the whole thing came off without a hitch… whew!

We are planning a repeat performance next year. And, we are considering options for a summer/fall event in the next six months. We’ve kicked around the idea of a rumble, hackfest or even an agile theme. If you have any ideas or feedback that you’d like share, send an email to all the guys or drop us a tweet.

Finally, I want to send out a huge thanks to all the attendees, speakers and sponsors for making RoA 2011 so awesome!

Congrats, Piotr… nicely done!
