Collaborative Civic Coding

Why we go the extra mile to collaborate and make our civic tech projects reusable. Our recent contribution of Ukrainian MP data to the EveryPolitician project is an example. This talk covered how and why we did it, and the benefits everyone gets by taking this approach.

A lightning talk given at the OpenAustralia Foundation Sydney Pub Meet.
