Come help us chip away at civic challenges! We've got everything you need for a friendly and productive night: an invited speaker to learn from, wonderful co-conspirators to meet, some projects to work on, and delicious food to eat!

We're working up to hosting regular weekly events. We'll need your energy and contributions to make that work! (See ABOUT US section below)

‣ PRESENTER: patcon (Patrick Connolly)

‣ TOPIC: Origins of life, finding and building living institutions

‣ BIO:
Patrick Connolly (patcon) is a community organizer, a failed biochemist, a coder, a public servant and an anarchist sympathizer. He is interested in participatory culture, the changing nature of work, and how we can build communities, organizations and economies that are more open, inclusive, and resilient.

‣ VENUE SPONSOR
**Newspeak House** is an independent residential college founded in 2015 to study, nurture and inspire emerging communities of practice across civil society and the public sector in the UK. [https://newspeak.house](https://newspeak.house/)

‣ CHECK-IN DETAILS
Enter through the eastern-most glass door. We might informally confirm RSVPs.

(We might informally confirm RSVPs, which help attendees to connect after the event, and help us ensure enough food.)

‣ ACCESSIBILITY
The event will take place on the ground floor. The event space has no steps inside. The main entrance has a 2" lip onto a graded concrete ramp.

‣ ABOUT US
**g0v London** is an exploration of seeding a g0v community in London, UK. We are currently running hacknights roughly every few weeks and, with your support, we aspire to run them weekly.

‣ INSPIRATION
**g0v** is a grassroots social movement community dedicated to deepening the civic engagements and connections between the social arena and citizens. It is a decentralised civic tech community with core values of information transparency, open results and open cooperation. [https://g0v.tw/intl/en/](https://g0v.tw/intl/en/)

**Civic Tech Toronto** is a diverse community of Torontonians interested in better understanding and finding solutions to civic challenges through technology, design or other means. They run weekly "civic hacknights for everyone", where people of all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome to attend. [https://link.civictech.ca/meetup](https://link.civictech.ca/meetup) (Civic Tech Toronto was in turn inspired by the values and format of Chicago's [ChiHackNight](https://chihacknight.org). )
