21Collect, format, and share data, as well as data you collect from external sources, consistent with law and policy so that partners can use and help you improve that data.
13Consider opportunities to ask New York City’s incomparable design and technology community to help you solve a problem, build a better tool, or improve an existing digital service. The Office of Digital Strategy will help you find a great partner.
18Create a culture of open source design and development. Create citywide open source licensing and policies to guide agencies.
11Explore procurement methods for acquiring digital services, particularly new ways to engage smaller and M/WBE vendors.
13Establish a method to allow agencies to acquire design services from a pool of vendors in service, digital, and communication design.
10Develop both informal (e.g., office hours) and formal (e.g., NYC Big Apps competition) mechanisms to partner with the civic technology community.
8Establish and publish data collection and distribution standards consistent with Local Law 11.
