All our data is FREE and PUBLIC in a variety of formats, offering a service layer upon which other apps can be built. The directory was instantiated with data from our partners at occupytogether, wealloccupy, the Guardian, and many others. Surveying the landscape, we saw there were many overlapping, spreadsheet-based, directory projects. We identified a need to standardize the data collected, liberate it from google, and assist information gathering and editing with data validation, editorial workflows, and community participation. All listings are now actively added and managed here by the community (you). The Occupation Directory is a sub-project of the Federated General Assembly (FGA) and a piece of a much larger and interesting puzzle that is the new social web we're building!</span></span>
