PDF: Applied – Personal Democracy Forum Hackathon
CUNY Graduate School of Journalism
PDF: Applied
Do you have an idea for an app to enhance our electoral process, to help citizens engage in their communities, or to help facilitate online activism? Here’s a unique opportunity for it to be built in a weekend by some of the world’s top civic developers.
In connection with the 2012 “Personal Democracy Forum” conference, Personal Democracy Media is bringing leading civic “hackers” together with practitioners in government and NGOs to build tools that enhance civic life through technology-driven innovation. Participants will work to build applications that address specific civic needs in keeping with this year’s “Internet is the New Political Power” PDF conference theme.
If you would like to participate in PDF: Applied, RSVP here.
