0 likes366 views
The document discusses five civic participation projects that any community can undertake using open data and open government. It describes Textizen, a mobile survey app that uses a chat-like interface to engage users. It also mentions Neustrom, a wiki launched by students that grew significantly through public contributions. Finally, it encourages connecting with local tech communities, sharing ideas openly without worrying about theft, and getting excited about making things to promote civic participation.

After texting their initial response, users are sent a new question, and the survey begins to respond the kind of texting back-and-forth you might have with a friend who is really into public policy.” 14
