Hey @mikeal

So I asked Spike and Mai-Ling if they'd be interested in doing a civic-tech track for JSFest and they were. We could probably also get someone some the city's attorney's office to speak as well.

I was thinking of having 2-4 people talk about civic issues in Oakland from a variety of angles. Say, how should civic hackers engage the city to build new projects? What are the challenges that city staff have when they chose to work with the civic tech community? to how do we ensure new voices are welcome into this growing community?

It could be simple: a series of talks or brief overview and then panel. Whatever is simplest.

Thoughts?

We had a final call for filling out the event schedule a month or so back. This just means that we don’t have any more space/time available at the New Parkway but if we can figure out another venue we can easily add this as well (although it might be hard being so last minute).

In fact, if we can find a free space we could make this event open to the public and not require a ticket to JSFest and we’ll just use JSFest as a good way to promote it :)
