What’s it About?

PoplusCon brought civic coders, campaigners and activists from around the world together in Santiago for two days of events. The aims of the conference were:

  • To introduce the Poplus concept: How we can work together to build software that helps civil society groups and campaigners launch powerful websites - anywhere in the world.

  • To share stories and experiences, both technical and non-technical, of running digital campaigns and sites

  • To introduce the first Poplus Components - WriteIt, MapIt, BillIt, SayIt, VoteIt and PopIt and give practical advice and support to individuals/groups wishing to use them

  • To agree definitions for “Poplus Component” and “Poplus Application”, and to provide support and advice to groups who want to adapt an existing tool for the project or build something new

  • To make connections between groups that might wish to work together in the future
