The Congressional Black Caucus is looking to improve diversity at high-tech companies. Representative Barbara Lee notes that tech companies have some of the lowest diversity rankings among large employers. In 2020, the CBC wants African American representation at tech companies to be equivalent to their participation in the broader workforce. The CBC recently met with companies like Google, Intel, SAP and Pandora to discuss strategies for improving workplace diversity. A lack of diversity is also tied to skills shortages, as many tech companies have non-technical jobs that minorities are qualified for. The CBC's involvement puts pressure on tech companies to voluntarily improve diversity.

Cfa web deck
This document summarizes Code for America, a fellowship program that connects web professionals with city governments. It discusses challenges facing cities, how Code for America recruits fellows to use web technologies to solve city problems, and provides examples of 2011 projects in Boston, Seattle, and Philadelphia. These included developing a student data platform in Boston, civic leader networks in Seattle and Philadelphia, and the Civic Commons project to share public technologies. It encourages cities to apply for the 2012 program and ways for others to get involved through donations or recommending the program to their city.
Ux week jen-pahlka
This talk describes how user experience professional can aim their skills where they are desperately needed: at our interfaces to government. What would happen if we felt about government the way we feel about our iphones? Can we insist that interfaces to government can be simple, beautiful, and easy to use? Code for America is creating these simple, beautiful interfaces and showing what's possible; we want more UX practitioners to join the cause!

Project Bumblebee
The document proposes creating a virtual political party to address three problems with Canadian politics: 1) Politics are too expensive due to reliance on fundraising, 2) Politics are too polarized along left/right lines, and 3) People feel disconnected from politicians. The virtual party would leverage the web to enable mass participation, facilitate civil debates, and generate consensus-based policy proposals to present in the next federal election with the goals of improving accessibility of politics and rejuvenating government. It calls for volunteers with various skills to help launch the initiative.

Finalreview
The document describes a web-based platform called VOXPO that aims to improve interaction between citizens and government representatives. VOXPO allows representatives and citizens to register and interact online. It is intended to strengthen democracy by encouraging active citizen participation and influencing the political decision-making process. The platform aims to build an informed society and increase transparency in governance. It has separate modules for administrators, citizens, and representatives to manage profiles, share updates and feedback, and discuss issues.

Their work aimed to increase civic participation and transparency.
Greentown - Wichita Magazine Article
After an EF5 tornado destroyed Greensburg, Kansas in May 2007, city administrator Steve Hewitt vowed to rebuild the town as a model of sustainability. With support from Governor Sebelius and FEMA director Dick Hainje, Greensburg began planning to become "the greenest community in rural America" through eco-friendly buildings, wind and solar energy, and green jobs. Though not everyone supported the ambitious plans, Greensburg made progress with help from private partners, becoming a showcase for sustainable rebuilding.

External Collaboration: Lessons Learned (So Far)
Slides presented by Dan Munz at Open Gov't & Innovations conference 2009 (http://opengovinnovations.com/)
Architecting Information For An Open Source Citizenry
Metaphorically, software and law have fundamental things in common. They’re both specialized, obtuse, and generally inaccessible to the layperson. Both govern our daily lives. And whereas software is compiled or interpreted and executed on specialized digital machines, law is interpreted and executed by specially trained human nervous systems.
Open source software relies on community support of two kinds: contribution and collaboration. The same concept lies at the heart of the Open Government Initiative, which focuses on transparency, participation and accessibility. Despite ongoing progress toward transparency, however, significant opportunities remain for improving how government collaborates with citizens to make the process of crafting legislation more accessible. In this talk, we propose that the problems we see with the current state of collaborative government participation is a problem of UX; and information architecture can provide a bipartisan pathway to solving these problems.
We will cover how GitHub’s success stems from its user experience and understanding of its core users: developers. Jumping off from this, we will discuss the concept of open government; covering some its important milestones; and demonstrate how some of the less successful ventures contained critical user experience shortfalls. Finally, we will present research findings and a conceptual IA that is particular to the crafting of laws and legislation. This talk will be a call to action as well: get ready to get involved!

Votus pitchdeck august2016_v6
Votus is a civic tech mobile app that aims to bridge the gap between citizens and their elected representatives at the local level. It allows citizens to submit and discuss community issues, view stances and opinions of neighbors, and directly communicate with representatives. This helps address the problem of citizens being disconnected from local politics. Votus sees an opportunity in the billions being spent on civic tech and political ads. It plans to launch in 6 Nashville districts and generate revenue by selling district-level citizen data and analytics to politicians, non-profits, and other groups through a subscription model backend dashboard.

Civic Engagement in the Digital Age

However, it cautions that technology should not replace real-world civic participation and that solving social problems requires cooperation between citizens, experts, and government. It proposes designing technology and offline activities to better connect people to each other and their governments.

Enhancing Local Democracy
Workshop for the Association of Democratic Services Officers a the Enhancing Local Democracy Conference 16th July 2010
World Government Summit on Open Source
Tim O'Reilly discusses lessons that governments can learn from technology companies to improve government services. Some key points:
1) Governments should focus on reinventing the citizen experience and making interfaces to government simple, beautiful and easy to use like consumer websites.
2) Governments should use data to drive decisions and continuously improve services based on metrics, like Google and other tech companies.
3) Governments should create architectures of participation that engage citizens in developing and improving services, not just providing feedback.
4) Governments should act as platforms, providing open data and services for private companies and citizens to build upon, like the internet and GPS systems.

Boston Civic Expo Spring 2013: New Urban Mechanics
This document summarizes various experiments conducted by the city of Boston to engage citizens and make government more transparent and personalized. It describes experiments from 2008-2013 like Citizens Connect, City Worker, and Street Bump that aimed to connect citizens to government services via mobile apps, online chat, and collecting street condition data. The impact of these experiments included doubling service requests while maintaining delivery times, one third of cases now handled digitally, and an 89% recommendation rate from users, up 21% since starting these efforts. The document advocates that transparency, communication and personalization, if done right, can inform, empower and engage citizens.
