In case anyone's interested in what Jane's team, which looked at the immigrant experience, came up with: https://link.g0v.london/immigration-vis

Look out for anything starting '*Investigate*' or under the 'Projects' section. They're ready to be worked on during another hack night.

@zf would you like to share the highlights of your first civic tech 101 session? I saw you guys having very great conversations and I really wanted to hear your version !
Hey! Sure! Initially, I hopefully presented the basic concept of civic tech adequately. Then we talked about some examples. I talked mostly about the projects of mysociety and democracy club, who have some very interesting ones. And finally we discussed a bit about other topics we cared about, and we mostly focused on misinformation out of those.
@zf May I have the links of mySociety and Democracy Club you mentioned? Share them here or on Google Doc!

My personal summary of the night. May anyone let me know if I understand Bill correctly?

Hi all! We have @g0vLondon on Twitter now!!!! Thanks to <@U4MCXJKNC> <https://twitter.com/g0vlondon|https://twitter.com/g0vlondon> As for the g0v <#C047J35BT4N|london-hacknight> on occasionally Tuesday (hoping someday to be weekly), you got the channel to go! Tonight we have projects that looked into +120 civic tech communities in the UK, that explored data on immigrant status and access to education and health care, and that talked about building feminist LARP especially on sexual harassment fears of women walking on the street We also had Bill Thompson, a tech journalist on Digital Planet by BBC, to talk about why his generation has failed the network. (Well, basically at least dated back from Jan 1, 1983 when the Internet was connected.) I guess the lesson is to think about the impacts before building anything and the government should regulate the market to encourage products and players with ethical values. Bill also said g0v logo looked old fashion that reminded him the soldering iron
