Civic Hack Night featuring California DMV Website Feedback Session

How can we improve the user experience of the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website? Join us to share your feedback on the DMV website. Everyone is welcome. No technical experience necessary to participate.

We are partnering with the California DMV “Strike Team” to host user feedback sessions on the DMV website. The California DMV Strike team is led by GovOps (the California agency that oversees the Department of Technology among other statewide departments). GovOps is working with DMV and key stakeholders to improve the user experience and online services. The feedback we share will help them understand how to improve the experience of people trying to access and utilize the DMV services and information online.

What is Code for San Jose?
Code for San José is a volunteer organization made up of makers, designers, developers, and subject matter experts who come together to use tech to solve civic problems.

We hold Civic Hack Nights twice a month where members use their skills to make San José, and the South Bay, a better place.

• Learn more about our current projects (http://www.codeforsanjose.com/docs/projects/).

• We are meeting at ActionSpot co-working studio and startup incubator https://www.myactionspot.com/membership.html

• Parking: There is a parking lot on the side and behind ActionSpot, as well as street parking all around the space.

We've found it helpful to be clear on what Code for San José is, and what it isn't:

Code for San José is:

• a place people gather to work on open-source projects that benefit our community

Code for San José is not:

• an organization that teaches people how to code

• always prepared to pair you with a project on day one. That said, it's a good idea to look through the open data (http://www.codeforsanjose.com/docs/data/) available to us and our projects (http://www.codeforsanjose.com/docs/projects/), and start thinking about a project you might find interesting to work on.

If you are new to Code for San José, please:
