I just sent this to the Mozilla lists ... who here is planning to be at Mozilla Festival in October? http://bit.ly/mozfest2014
Ping me and I'll add you to the Google Doc mentioned below. Would this be a good event to connect a new wave of software developers and civic tech/open gov builders? I am considering extending slightly an existing UK visit to be part of this event. - Steve From: Steven Clift <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Aug 13, 2014 at 4:35 PM Subject: Civic Tech/Open Gov session at MozFest?? To: [email protected], [email protected] Hey all, I am hoping to be part of my first MozFest in London this October. Any advice on what session ideas really resonate? How about something on civic tech/open gov? What about that theme would be most compelling? I am involved with civic tech/open government circles (E-Democracy, Sunlight Foundation, Code for America, mySociety, etc.) In particular, I am bullish on what the software components concept might do to increase the impact of the movement. Note: http://bit.ly/poplus and their online group: http://bit.ly/poplusgroup - This might make for a niche session as well. Thanks, Steven Clift E-Democracy.org (based in Minneapolis) P.S. I've pinged a number of online groups in the civic tech world and found some interest. We have this Google Doc ready to draft our session ideas collaboratively: http://bit.ly/civictechmozfest2014 Join in!
