This application was developed for the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) to help Chicago residents locate and find public transportation to CDPH's free flu shot clinic events. http://flushots.311services.org/ BACKGROUND I went to a weekly meeting of civic coders where several city agencies presented. They asked for our help in building interesting applications around their available data. I was interested in the free flu shot clinic locations since flu season was coming up fast, and I had attended a free flu shot event in the past. I built a prototype application and advertised it via Twitter. CDPH, the mayor's office, and a few other civic coders, mainly Juan-Pablo Velez, noticed the tweet. Before I knew it, Juan-Pablo brokered a meeting between CDPH, the Mayor's office, and ourselves. The meeting was positive and I began in ernest to polish up the application. BITS AND BYTES These events were published by the CDPH via their web site (subsequently published on the Chicago Data Portal). Other events were given directly by CDPH. These events data are published to a Google Fusion Table, where the code uses the Google Maps API to retrive those events. The Fusion Table: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S705126nZTU MADD PROPZ This web application could not have been as well executed without the sage feedback and assistance of Juan-Pablo Velez and Derek Eder. Thanks also to Smart Chicago Collaborative for hosting this web application. ERRATA 'flu_logo_720.png' image file is for the City of Chicago's own use and does not fall under the license found on LICENSE.TXT. You must replace it in your own implementation. It is left here to help you use this code. This code should be fairly easy to take and use by other government agencies offering flu shot clinic events. If you would like any advice on implementing this code, drop me a line. Tom Kompare e: [email protected] t: @tomkompare
