On the road with YOD

DateApr 23, 2009 at 08:28PM CommentPost a Comment

I had the privilege of attending Transparency Camp in Washington DC in March where I presented YOD at this toally fun and engaging barcamp sponsored by the Sunlight Foundation. Later, I presented YOD at one of the lunchtime talks at theopenplanningproject.org in New York City. Thanks to Greg Elin (Sunlight), Nick Grossman (TOPP) for inviting me. And thanks to Master David Budworth for attending TCamp with me.

 

Craig Newmark was part of the kickoff crew. The Sunlight peeps are amazing. The barcamp format works pretty great.

Presenting YOD to some very smart government transparency and citizen advocacy peeps. Feedback ranged from very tough to very useful.

Presenting at TOPP lunchtime visiting lecture series. What TOPP does is amazing...you should check them out.
