Hello Community,

I am Georgie, I work for a not-for-profit called mySociety, based in the UK, but working internationally :slight_smile:

At the moment, my focus is on meeting people who would like to collaborate in building a Democratic Commons; individuals and organisations working together to make information on every elected politician in the world freely available to all, supported by the Wikimedia project Wikidata.

mySociety suspects a lack of open current data of elected politicians slows down a lot of radical work… but we don’t know this, so if anyone has any thoughts, I am carrying out user research and would love to speak to people.

I am also interested in how much the Code for All/ Open Knowledge and Wikimedia worlds interact and if so, where people meet (online or offline)…

You can reach me here, or by email at georgie@mysociety.org although my preference would be to communicate in the open :slight_smile:
