#alamtg — Public Fediverse posts

Watch out, Alameda. And I guess the whole Bay Area. ICE and other feds incoming at scale.

Hey, do any #alamtg or #oakmtg or #eastbay folks in general know what's going on with the old Holy Names University campus?

Wiki says it was sold to a property management company two years ago, anyone know recent developments?

I had wanted to be able to search through #alamtg meeting minutes for a while, and this was the kick in the pants I needed. In mid-August of 2022, I had a working system for fetching minutes from the #alamtg legistar, and using s3-ocr to put that into a sqlite database running under datasette.

Once I had this working, @MaggieFero immediately asked for #oakmtg, and luckily it was the same underlying system.

So one month into the project, we had 50k pages across two cities. Not bad!

Hey, if you follow #BayArea politics (hi #alamtg, #oakmtg). you’ve probably heard of this thing called “ABAG" -- the Association of Bay Area Governments. They pass resolutions that cities abide by around things like housing and transit.

CivicBand now tracks their minutes and agendas: https://mtc.ca.civic.band/meetings/minutes?meeting__contains=ABAG&_sort_desc=date
