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
