This document summarizes the goals and activities of the OpenMissouri project, which aims to connect Missourians with public data from state and local government agencies. The project serves to inform citizens about available data, inspire its use, and educate about how to access and use public data. It catalogs over 250 datasets from 20 state agencies on its website. The site was built using open-source technologies and aims to expand its coverage to include more cities and counties as well as different data formats.
