St. Paul Monthly Meetup

We're back at Granicus (https://granicus.com) in downtown St. Paul.

This month we'll be joined by Matt Byrne, Policy Program Manager at Citizens League! Matt will be speaking about a tool that the Citizens League is working on:

----
In the interest of hosting and presenting the most worthwhile, interesting, and valuable conversations between thought leaders on pressing issues facing Minnesota the Citizens League needs help putting together an online platform that visually represents dialogue to be intuitive and engaging for citizens. To ensure dialogue quality the platform needs:

• A color coded representation of premises and responses
• Clear designation for evidence
• Premise-specific engagement using: Like, love, or comment
• Love = auto reference to twitter/facebook and guidance/references to policymakers
• Users IDed by demographics producing valuable feedback for decision makers
  ----

Come with ideas for projects, things you may have already started, or we'll try to match you up with an already existing project or idea. We'll have food and some great conversation. Please comment below on any ideas or projects you might want to work on.
