Tech Demos Event - The Latest in Tools for Online Participation in Democracy

NYU Courant Institute (map)

Selected By: Matt Cooperrider

Grassroots Web has teamed up with the OneWebDay team to bring you an exciting event in the style of New York's Monthly Tech meetup. We're hosting 6 demos that fit OneWebDay 2008's theme of online participation in democracy. Here they are:

* Speechology
* MixedInk
* WorkInTown
* Open Congress
* Democracy in Action
* Independence Year

With the Grassroots Web group and OneWebDay joining forces, this is sure to be a killer event with a great crowd full of people doing amazing projects. Not to mention that the OneWebDay party will immediately follow the event. To see all the NYC OneWebDay festivities, visit this page.

The demos will be webcast as well.

Hope to see you there,
Matt Cooperrider

    Democracy In Action: * Liked the practicality. Curious about specifics of database refinement OpenCongress: *Great for increased transparency/ownership. I'll have to explore further. Contact capabilities? MixedInk * Looking forward to this - HUGE potential. WorkInTown * Interesting - doing a couple things at once with this project. iYear * Very ambitious and intriquing. (Any shared goals / opportunities between iYear and OpenCongress?) Speechology * Anyway to bring in commentary from other sources? I'll check out the debates here... Thanks to all - exciting stuff...

    I always enjoy the demos. Timing was good. No one went on for too long and the line up of presenters was pretty good.
