mySociety hat bisher durch eine ganze reihe wirklich cooler Webseiten zu Opengovernment, Opendata, Transparenz und Partizipation auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Gestern hat die englische NGO mySociety ein neues Projekt gestartet:
mySociety in Central and Eastern Europe
Dabei geht um nicht weniger als um die Initiative mit Hilfe des finanzstarken Open Society Institute ähnliche Seiten wie die von mySociety in Osteuropa zu unterstützen. Wir dürfen also gespannt sein, was für coole neue Projekte in den nächsten Monaten bei unseren osteuropäischen Nachbarn entstehen. Mehr dazu auf der Projektseite http://cee.mysociety.org/
mySociety has teamed up with the Open Society Institute (OSI) to help people in Central and Eastern Europe build transparency and democracy websites suited to the needs and realities of their countries. In the UK mySociety runs a variety of sites such as TheyWorkForYou.com, FixMyStreet.com, and our Freedom of Information website WhatDoTheyKnow.com. As a result of running these, we know that there are lots of people outside the UK longing to build similar sites that help increase transparency and accountability in their own government institutions.
We have now launched a Call for Proposals for participants in Central and Eastern Europe, similar to the one we recently ran in the UK. The big difference is that this time we’re not looking for projects that we will build. We’re looking for projects you want to build, but that for lack of funds or lack of the right skills, you can’t get started yourself, so could use our help.
