Calling AU Developers in Political Sphere

without comments

ON-LINE CAMPAIGN TOOLSOPPORTUNITY

While our key­note and dis­cus­sion will be invalu­able to any­one inter­ested in demo­cracy and com­mu­nic­a­tion in the first half of this cen­tury I also wanted the forum to be an oppor­tun­ity for a look at prac­tical examples of new tech­no­logy tools.

To that end I’d like to invite any developers, web 2.0 or social net­work­ing act­iv­ists with ideas for, or examples of, on-line tools that can be used in polit­ical cam­paign­ing and who would like to demon­strate their ideas (as a proof of concept or developed applic­a­tion) to the attendees at the forum to con­tact me.

Microsoft not inter­ested in how the tools were or are developed, what plat­form or lan­guage the tool was or would be developed with as long as the idea is ori­ginal, is yours, and you are pre­pared to demon­strate the concept or tool to the audi­ence. It would be prefer­able if the idea were cap­able of wide usage but that is a mat­ter for you.

  • Up to three ideas will be selec­ted for demon­stra­tion.
  • Fin­an­cial sup­port will be provided to get to Can­berra.

For more inform­a­tion, please visit the Aus­tralian Gov­ern­ment Affairs blog or con­tact me.
