If so, please check out this announcement from Code for America regarding the implementation of a new Child Welfare Case Management System for the state of California: https://www.hwcws.cahwnet.gov/default.asp?mc_cid=bc1db38a87&mc_eid=8feaeb723b You can dial-in to hear what's going on -- no need to go to Sacramento. It's happening *Friday, December 4th from 1:00 to 3:00pm!* Here's what Code for America said about this project: Code for America got involved earlier this year and has spent the last few > months working > closely with the project team in Sacramento, across numerous state > government offices, to > fundamentally transform California’s approach to understanding and > controlling the technology > required for a new system. > > Now, instead of business-as-usual, the new Child Welfare System will be a > series of procurements > for long-term services, driven by understanding and meeting user needs, > delivered iteratively.

This is what 21st century government looks like. Children in our welfare system are some of our most vulnerable citizens. Improving how their lives and welfare are monitored and how services are delivered to help them are vital to their growth and development as people and citizens. If you have some spare development cycles and want to help please get involved, starting by calling into this forum.
