Wednesday 28th June 2017

Our next Open Knowledge Meet-up is approaching fast!

When: 5.30 — 8.00 pm, Wednesday 28th June 2017
Where: CodeClan, 37 Castle Terrace, EH1 2EL , Edinburgh

This meet-up will focus on how new currencies such as Bitcoin are
challenging the way we perceive and use money. No longer are banks or
governments the mediators of currencies, with the power to divest or invest
to dictate the flow of value within society. The technology underlying
Bitcoin, namely the blockchain
<https://medium.com/the-intrepid-review/how-does-the-blockchain-work-for-dummies-explained-simply-9f94d386e093>,
decentralises money and offers a platform for its creative use.

Bettina Nissen will present a number of related projects (see After Money
<http://aftermoney.design/>) which contribute to contemporary debates
around the emergence of new forms of value exchange.

Leah Lockhart will report on research by DemSoc on digital tools for
participatory budgeting
<http://www.demsoc.org/participatory-budgeting-in-scotland/> and facilitate
a discussion on how these innovations are potentially relevant to the Open
Government Scotland National Action Plan
<http://www.gov.scot/Resource/0051/00511323.pdf>.
