Philosophy: technology; open
• We are about technology– Everything we do relates to technology. We are of and
about the Internet– We believe in the transformative power of the Internet to
change lives and build the economy for all
• We are open– We are a small organization looking to make the biggest
impact possible. We can’t do that by being tight or closed
– We work in the open, using & publishing open source technology
– We have methods for others allowed “in”, whether as contributors, observers, users, whatever

Philosophy: everyone; Chicago
• We seek to be of use to everyone–We believe in the power of the network– The network needs everyone in it to be
powerful–We work on solutions that cover the entire
city
• We focus on Chicago– Our middle name–We do seek to scale our solutions, but not
without serving Chicago
