What will happen in your session?

The session will outline the open process developed [as a result of our work in the Open Leaders program] for the 2017 Update of the People’s Roadmap to a Digital New York City.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal of the session is to provide a case study in how a collaborative visioning document like The Internet Health Report can be applied on the local level. This session will be an opportunity to (hopefully) share our work from the Open Leaders program and solicit feedback from participants.

Hi Wranglers,

Since submitting our session proposal, we have given this some more thought and would like to propose the following changes:

Instead of giving a lightning talk to summarize the work we have done through the Open Leaders program (if chosen, fingers crossed!), we would instead like to simulate one of the in-person workshops we plan to hold in Fall 2017 (as part of our public outreach effort for the People's Roadmap). The purpose of this workshop simulation is to demonstrate what a civic tech community workshop looks like on the local level. The workshops would consist of an introduction, breakout session, report-back, and group discussion. The introduction would consist of a short presentation introducing the history, goals, and implementation of the People's Roadmap and the role of the local civic tech ecosystem in addressing quality of life issues. After the presentation, we would break participants into discussion groups to identify issues and brainstorm solutions. If it is a large group, each group could focus on a predefined topic area. At the end of the session, we would ask each group to report-back, discuss how BetaNYC plans to use the ideas generated from this session, solicit feedback on our workshop model, and provide resources on how to run similar events.

Thanks for your consideration,

Lauren + BetaNYC Leadership Team

Thank you for taking the time to submit a session to MozFest. Due to the high level of submissions, we’re unable to accept all proposals and unfortunately, your session was not part of the final group.

Thank you for taking the time to submit and we will follow up on email very soon.
