SeattleSpeeds

1 Introduction
SeattleSpeeds is a joint project between M-Labs and Open Seattle for the City of Seattle. Much like, say, http://www.speedtest.net/ the web app performs speed tests of network performance. The novelty is that the information is collected by the City of Seattle and plotted on a map as a civic resource. The source code and the data are open source.
The code is being developed and deployed by the City of Seattle first, yet it is a goal for the codebase to be easily redeployed for other localities.

5 Historical
Note: this project was originally named SEANetMap ("SEA" for Seattle's airport code). The name SEANetMap is just something I came up with spontaneously on the spot when we needed a name for the repostitory on GitHub.
