2013 was a fun year in DC, on this topic Tom MacWright was scraping the DC Code from some vendor, Joshua Tauberer pitched in to help remove the WestLaw redistributor's IP that they were attaching everywhere... Tom started posting copies of the DC Code to github, updating as it changed. One of Tom's key posts: https://macwright.com/2013/04/04/the-open-code.html Local coverage: https://ggwash.org/view/30874/a-copy-of-dcs-laws-is-now-free... .
Eventually this kind of shook out into the Open Law Library https://openlawlib.org/ . Which is used to maintain & update the DC Code on Github, https://github.com/DCCouncil/law-html .
I wish I had a little better idea of how things evolved in the intervening decade. I don't know much about Open Law Library, to be honest, or who else these efforts are helping now. But these incipient years were great years here in town. The meetup scene was excellent in general, and Tom showing up & going through blockbuster hits like these efforts was just a mind-blowingly break-out-the-champagne joy-inspiration supreme.
