Here's a note and link about Kansas City tech talk and politics where most local politicos will talk about how they use social media to mostly promote their own agenda.
It seems fun if not heavily moderated and probably ignoring major tech trouble that City Hall has endured with the 311 info line, urban spy tech, ride-sharing and sexting scandals.
Take a peek:
Join KC Digital Drive and the Code for America Brigade on Monday, February 23, at Union Station’s H&R Block City Stage, for a City Council Technology Forum from 3-5pm followed by a cocktail reception and Civic Apps Showcase from 5-7pm.
The Forum & Showcase are part of Code for America’s CodeAcross celebration, an event series designed to get technology advocates actively involved in their community.
COUNCIL TECH FORUM (3-5pm): Moderated by KCPT’s Nick Haines, this exciting town hall will let candidates running for City Council in the April 7 Kansas City, Missouri, Primary Election discuss how they think technology should play a role in city hall and at the neighborhood level.
What Will We Discuss?
- The Digital Divide: How can citizens without access to computers or the internet take part in society?
- Open Data: How does the city making its data available enable and empower all people, not just technologists?
- Procurement: How can the city’s byzantine procurement process be improved through technology?
- Economic Development: How can we attract, encourage and retain technology business?
- Innovation: What do “smart city” projects like free public wifi and sensors in streetlights bring to the community?
And more!

How can a cult of local morons and our nitwit politicians addicted to selfies, twitter, facebook, and other technology any five year old can figure out and play with take part in society.
