Geeks Connecting Neighbors - BeNeighbors.org Tech Input Session

By Steven Clift

In past years we've presented on community participation online on public Neighbors Forums, now E-Democracy.org is looking to create a brand spanking new service that connects nearest neighbors online. Think electronic block clubs, National Night Out - but online and on-demand, and general goodness that comes from neighbors knowing neighbors.

See the http://BeNeighbors.org open source style online working group for our recent how should we build an Alpha quickly and cheaply to test the core concepts.

In this session, the project concept will be shared and then we will dig in on technology options and ideas. Contact Steven Clift - clift@e-democracy.org - ahead of if you would like a copy of the full concept outline before the session.
