Innovation Hub

The Innovation Hub seeks to highlight Legislative branch activities that use technology to cultivate collaboration, foster data standardization, and increase transparency. The Hub includes information to help law-making bodies innovate, communicate, and legislate effectively, and it is being developed iteratively by non-partisan support staff in United States Legislative branch organizations coordinated through the Congressional Data Task Force in collaboration with civil society using GitHub Pages.

This domain is published on GitHub pages, based on Ruby and Jekyll.

Run locally.

Tip

A Development Container is available as an alternative to installing all the tooling and dependencies directly on your workstation.

Run make dev.

Tip

A flake.nix is included for users of the Nix package manager (). This describes a nix develop shell, for any users who enable nix command.

If you choose to run the code directly, you need Ruby on your machine, then run:

gem install bundler

Any of these options prepares you to run the app, using:

bundle
bundle exec jekyll serve

(you'll see your app here).

Proposing Changes

As coordinated by the Congressional Data Task Force (CDTF), changes can be proposed to the Innovation Hub's online domain using GitHub's pull-request process. Please open an issue for any errors you see on your machine.
