Who-We-Are links to wrong org

From my own comment on #130:
The Who We Are page links to Code for Oakland, which is not an organization we are associated with.

Make it link to OpenOakland.

I just learned that Code for Oakland was the event that spawned OpenOakland. But whatever website was there is long gone, and the url now points at something else entirely

Code for Oakland was the hackathon where Open Budget was conceived (not an organization). I think it’s worth keeping that historical context but maybe it could be made more clear.

Keeping historical context sounds fine. The link points to some other, apparently private for-profit company though (savoykings.com).

Oh I see. Looks like the SSL certificate for codeforoakland.org is expired. Not sure why it points to that other site. @nydame I'm not sure the best way to make a pull request for this, so would you mind just replacing that URL with this one for now? https://oaklandnorth.net/2012/07/23/code-for-oakland-challenges-developers-to-turn-public-data-into-an-app/

It was originally called Hack the Budget :)

_When the judges had made their decision, an app called “Hack the Budget” came out on top as the grand prize winner. This application transforms the Oakland city budget from an eye-glazing sleep-inducing PDF full of statistics into colorful data visualizations that helps show citizens how the money is used.

Team member Shawn McDougal, a UC Berkeley Ph.D student in mathematics who lives in Oakland, explained the reasoning behind Hack the Budget during their presentation: “The problem we’re dealing with is the lack of public awareness about the budget that leads to disengagement. People don’t know where their public resources go. They don’t know how their tax dollars get spent. They don’t know how their city runs. They disengage.”_

@ckingbailey Thanks for opening this. I'll make this a priority since it should be easy to fix. @adstiles Thanks for the historical perspective and for coming up with a good substitute URL.

There's a PR for it! #138
