Steven Clift ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Martín Szyszlican" <[email protected]> Date: Mar 19, 2015 1:33 PM Subject: [Poplus] NewsChallenge: Who Are My Candidates? Fundamental election data, and fundamentally useful voter tools, in six countries. To: "poplus" <[email protected]> Cc: Today is the last day of the Knight NewsChallenge and after a great work by members of the poplus federation we have published our entry, you can read it fully (and applaud it if you like) here: https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/elections/entries/who-are-my-candidates-fundamental-election-data-and-fundamentally-useful-voter-tools-in-six-countries I have been pushing for this for the past few months and we finally managed to have a great proposal, I really hope the challenge's judges will think the same. The stated goal is to provide election information in six countries, and the poplus-related goal is to make yournextmp a truly global tool, with a popit backend and a host of popolo-based tools implemented or improved in each country. I mean Write-it, Cargografias, Twittelection and even add new tools by making VotaInteligente (a tool from Ciudadano Inteligente in Chile) be able to consume from PopIt. April 13th is the day we find out weather we made it to the next round, they will pick 50 projects out fo the more than 600 proposals and those will have to provide a more specific budget and timeline. Thanks to all. -- *Martín Szyszlican* Desarrollo web usable y accesible martinszyszlican.com -- Poplus.org - Get involved: http://poplus.org/get-involved IRC: #poplus https://webchat.freenode.net Docs: http://bit.ly/poplusdrive --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Poplus - Collaborative Civic Coding" group.
