| 17 | About the Project |
|---|
| 18 | ================= |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | OpenBlock began life as the open-source code released by |
|---|
| 21 | Everyblock.com in June 2009. Originally created by Adrian Holovaty |
|---|
| 22 | and the Everyblock team, it is now developed as an open-source (GPL) |
|---|
| 23 | project by OpenPlans, at http://openblockproject.org. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Funding for the initial creation of Everyblock and the ongoing |
|---|
| 26 | development of OpenBlock has been provided by the Knight Foundation |
|---|
| 27 | (http://www.knightfoundation.org/). |
