hey all! I was going to bridge this channel with CivicTechTO's slack, and also CodeforAmerica (since they write their own Civic Tech Weekly over there, and the collaboration might be beneficial)

any objections or questions? general info here: link.civictech.ca/about-bridges
patcon 04:29:07
also, related to that, i find that bridges work most clearly when the name is the same across all slacks. might there be a name for this channel that would more accurately capture the nature of convo (given that some slack teams participating on bridge might be city-level)

Perhaps `#news-intl`? No pressure 🙂
