Hi!
I just subscribed to your list.

My name is Alina Ostling and I am a PhD candidate at the European
University Institute <http://www.eui.eu/> (EUI) in Florence, Italy. My
research focuses on citizens’ online participation in politics. During my
PhD, I have also worked on online Voting Advice Applications (e.g. EU
Profiler <https://alinaostling.wordpress.com/about-me/www.euprofiler.eu>)
and other platforms for development (UNICEF Research
Watch<http://www.unicef-irc.org/research-watch/>
).

I am also interested in this group since I have development experience from
the field: I coordinated democratic governance projects at UNDP Belarus for
three years. I am curious about what can be done with new technologies and
open data in order to achieve more development and 'leapfrogging'.

Alina
