Midpoint Roundup September 12th
Please note that September 12th we'll be having our National Day of Civic Hacking / Hack Kansas City MIDPOINT ROUNDUP. All teams who participated in the hackathon in June -- as well as any that have formed since -- are encouraged to attend. We'll just be giving project updates on the work we've accomplished so far. The purpose is to keep each other updated and to invite newcomers to join teams or contribute where they can. Be there or be square. (Also note: It'll be upstairs in the big room, so be sure to enter on the north side of the building.) RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/KCBrigade/events/233354236/

Dispatches from HQ:
National Day of Civic Hacking: Last week, Nicole and Christopher of Code for America met with Secondmuse and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to talk about next year’s National Day of Civic Hacking. Yes, it’s way way early - but with the change in administration we wanted to get ahead of the curve. They received a lot of feedback from the survey. HQ current thinking involves adding more partners, making challenges more ‘local-centric’ vs broad national challenges, and determining a way to get funding for the work that NDoCH involves.
