[open-government] Connecting in Chile, Argentina?

Tue Mar 25 14:31:53 UTC 2014

You may have noticed the Poplus conference announcement the other week:
http://poplus.org/poplus_event.html

Their event is April 29 and 30 in Santiago, Chile.

I am considering my participation and exploring opportunities to add a
short speaking stop in Buenos Aires on May 1 and getting out into the
community for a gathering/seminar in Santiago on April 28.

I am interested in connecting with:

1. Civic technology and open government initiatives, meetups, startups
2. Neighbours online efforts
3. Efforts to inclusively raise "new voices" online

I am interested in helping connect more people into the open
government and civic technology movement. I've been doing this for 20
years now across 30 nations in-person. However, beyond Mexico City,
this will be my first visit to South America.

Ideally, we will find some sponsors to help organize these unofficial
side events.
