Kk thanks.
This is essentially my trying to introduce a young community organizer in New Orleans, Jordan Mychal (who works in city gov and has a ton of civic projects on the go) to the way a g0v domain can be used to do projects outside government that are hard to do within government. People have very little faith in government in this city, bc they were abandoned after hurricane Katrina. Lots of DIY spirit, but no sense of trust that government will look after anyone or solve anything. Jordan's one of the few activists trying to work within the system, and so I'd like to help him understand better how ppl in Toronto and Taiwan work both inside and outside government, but in good faith interactions that work like experimental forks. (He's not a coder, and generally there is a massive skills gap in the city for tech -- civic tech here is nonexistent, tech jobs are barely existent, and any civictech-like activism is pretty much around teaching ppl even how to code, and how the mindset of the tech sector around collaborating openly can be empowering.
