@civicwhitaker

What ways will the network connect? Will there be a Slack channel like #ChiHackNight, or perhaps a special Instance on Mastodon?

Do current members use the list feature on Twitter and host a list of other tech people? This is my tech network list. https://twitter.com/i/lists/47275315

There's already a history from Code for America so there may be things to build on.

I've countless photos of Chicago, looking from the Merchandise Mart toward the lake and from the lake toward the Merchandise Mart. It's a breathtaking view. A treasure for all of us.

I used to come to the weekly #ChiHackNight events so saw this view weekly. Since 2020 and the start of Covid I've only been in the city a few times.

Interested in giving a talk at #chihacknight? We are starting to book presenters for May & June!

We offer a $100 honorarium for each presenter. For more info, check out how to pitch your talk here: https://chihacknight.org/speaker-submissions.html

Have you reviewed the MyChiMyFuture data map at https://data.cityofchicago.org/Events/My-CHI-My-Future-Programs-Map/da3u-gtzr

There's a lot of unpublished work being done to visualize this data and collect more related to youth programs, STEM, etc.

The Chi STEM Pathways Coop is leading some of this work. https://chicagostempathways.org/initiatives/stem-landscape-survey-refresh/

In a ZOOM meeting yesterday they and a team from NU previewed some of the work still not public.

I think they'd be a great #ChiHackNight guest.

I hope new mayor will continue this work, not start over.

Tonight’s presentation: Jake Williams from StateScoop #chihacknight https://chihacknight.org/events/2023/02/21/jake-williams-statescoop.html
