- OpenOakland Hack Night: Democracy Dollars, Open Disclosure, CityCampCity Hall, Hearing Room 3, Oakland , CA
Welcome to OpenOakland's Hack Night at City Hall, an evening dedicated to leveraging our collective expertise for civic good. It's a time to connect, collaborate, and contribute to meaningful open-source technology-driven projects that are positively impacting our community. Our Hack Night brings together coders, designers, researchers, data enthusiasts, activists, and everyone passionate about using technology to foster transparency, participation, and public good.
Our Hack Nights are typically on the 1st Tuesday of the month (if there isn't a holiday, etc).
This Month's Projects:
Leaders from these projects will be present to guide you:- Democracy Dollars: We've started prototyping a digital experience for Oakland residents. Get involved with design, content creation, and user testing kicking off soon!
- Open Disclosure Oakland: An initiative aimed to make campaign finance more transparent in Oakland. We're updating candidate info in prep for the upcoming election.
- CityCamp - We're exploring bringing back our daylong CityCamp unconference event in the Fall where Oakland residents and City staff meet to discuss challenges and opportunities in Oakland. Learn more about the event and planning committee! No coding or tech skills required.
- Consultancy Program / OpenOakland.org Update - We need to update our website with some information about our new short term engagement model if you're looking for a quick way to help out!
Event Agenda:
