first of all, the hatchery is one of my favorite places in the city. there is truly a bee hive of activity of the newest innovations that san francisco will be famous for. i also love the fact that just a couple of blocks from here is where our san francisco giants are moving on to the world series. but just in this room, all of you are giants and making sure that san francisco is the world champion when it comes to innovation. >>> 13 years ago, i like all of you started a company. i started in i-ti a technology company in the 1.0 world. it was a company that created technology to connect citizens better with government * . i ran it for almost nine years. and when i was elected to office four years ago, i was unfortunately more surprised than i wanted to be about how far behind san francisco government was. this was very 2008, 2009. with you i'm really proud of the leaps and bounds we have taken as a city * . i was proud in 2010 to help move forward legislation to really bring together city departments to work in a coordinated way with our committee on

welcome to 6 45 harrison and the hatchery. it's super exciting to have such a dynamic group of people from both the public and private sector here today. and as a self-proclaimed geek and tech entrepreneur, this is really exciting for me. before i wax on about that's correct really quickly want to give you just a quick 90-second thing about the hatchery. we opened our doors about a year ago at 625 2nd street, bought 21 thou square feet there. we opened our doors and within a year we've grown into a whole new space which we opened two months ago. * across both spaces we have

able to work with the city of san francisco, and have this incredible opportunity to be here at the hatchery launching our application and our company. thank you very much. (applause) >> thank you, yo. so, san francisco has been a leader in open data for the past three years nationally. in 2009 we launched our open data initiative, one of the first cities to do so. in 2010 we partnered with the white house to launch open 311 api, the first ever read write api for cities. we now have over 40 cities that have joined us. in 2011 we partnered with gray area foundation on a series of hack-a-thons, 10,000 attendees, and created nearly 30 applications all being powered by open data. now in 2012 we have our legislation that you heard about. as you heard, we announced the chief data officer. we have a network of open data coordinators within each agency. and these coordinators, their primary responsibility is to provide insight, is to provide transparency into the data sets that they manage. and that's really important. we want to make sure that you guys have a clear understanding in our community ab

it is the biggest fishery. 14 miles of the hatchery fish will not survive a large-scale coppermine. they're going to train the entire basin because they have to get the water going into the mind. this would be a catastrophe. you're going to lose one of the world's greatest food resources. the reason i'm arguing as i ask where they go in my response to you is if you can't stop pebble, which is actually really good argument is next to one of the world's greatest food resources, you can't type anything. so i'm going to do my little page. at the end of april, it's about to release this to us, all of us. you have one month to make public, and on that site about why you want to save your soul day. but you have to say some thing because what kristin was just saying, all this stuff is new. this stuff has been going on and now they can't. the example i can give you, sandy hook. before sandy hook, if the conversation. i'm not trying to get into that. but the numbers have changed. it allows politicians to have cover to actually do something possibly. it's a national issue that when it comes ou

an oeus ster hatchery in -- oyster hatchery in oregon has seen 70% to 80% losses of its oyster larvae due to more acidic waters washing in from the sea. it's not just our oceans and coasts affected. in our heartland, rivers and forests are facing the changes that come with the warming climate. the water hyacinths is spreading rapidly across the united states blocking waterways and choking tphae alternative species -- native species. it has been called the world's worst aquatic weed. it drains water from the drinking and irrigation supply and can clog pumping stations and hydropower infrastructure, costing local economies millions of dollars. water hyacinths can't survive winter freezing but as water temperatures warm, this invasive species spreads further and further. in the rockies, pine beetles are devastating native forests. the pine beetle larvae are killed by hard frosts, and so this kept them in lower latitudes and in lower altitudes where the temperature was warmer. but with global warming and winters not so cold, the beetle is spreading northward and upward to higher elevation

in closing, i want to thank the hatchery, i want to thank our city leadership, mayor, as well as president chiu and partnering with us on this legislation. and i want to thank all of you in our community who have really done amazing things with this data. it's just a celebration of the good work that you're doing that we're here. open data would not exist without our community. so, with that, i'm going to actually hand it off to 100 plus to do a really quick demo and then we're going to do a little q & a and we'll have them come up next. >> 100 plus, we're based here in san francisco. we are interested in small healthy behaviors, ways to be healthy that don't involve going to the gym. we created a system where we recommend hops or help opportunities. these are little activities and places that are seed by users and served to other users based on location. and we used open data to seed our entire system. so, we input over a thousand things from open data including parks and fountains and civic art and to focus on trying to get people to walk more in their daily life. so, we have things like

there's a shell phish hatchery over in tillamook that supplies three quarters of the oyster feed to produce shell phish up and town the cost. their stock of oyster seed is being threatened by the rising acidity of the ocean, which is again a serious impact of climate change so right there in oregon, there's two examples, economic examples of how our local industry is being ffected. oregonians, i know, as well as others around the country, are looking to us for solutions, looking to us for leadership system of we need to discuss how we're going to mitigate and begin to reverse the environmental and economic effects. we have a great responsibility, not only to our own home state but to our country and the rest of the world. we need to take a leadership role. mr. blumenauer: i was just thinking as you were describing the threats on our oregon coast, what we just read in "the washington post" a couple of days ago here where the impacts of climate change are having a profound effect on the blue crab, they're breeding a super crab, they're growing more rapidly at the same time climate impacts are

fishingturn to sidekick that a big oyster industry on the coast of oregon, and the whiskey creek hatchery produces the oyster seed for western farmers, and it has had trouble in a slight change of the assocation of the ocean, and small change, and if you have a small change affecting shell formation in very young oyster see to it, you can think about how different food chains will be impacted, and that is not a pretty picture. this is the state of oregon. if we look more broadly, we see so much going on, and some of my colleagues have spoken to concern about the natural resource industry and the extraction of coal. quite rightly, i am concerned about my fishing community. like timber community. my farming community. all of which are impacted by the strategies we employ, and america should lead in taking on this challenge. many of these issues that i will return to, wrestling with specific issues, i want to mention how poor and the superfund cleanup is particularly in portland harbor. i continue to look forward to working with you after your confirmation to pursue policies to get us out of
