Had a great #phillytechweek day yesterday!

Got to MC a showcase of 3 #codeforphilly projects and after got to judge a #phillychi design slam about a 4th project and saw some great ideas! Very proud of these teams!

Technical.ly did a piece on volunteer led Open Data Philly, a #philadelphia #opendata project housing local city, university, and nonprofit data.

Very proud to have ODP as a #codeforphilly project! Lydia, Bryan, and Robert do great work on it and could use help!

Code for Philly is hosting a #civictech presentation this Wednesday at 6 at The Coop (next to Love City Brewing) for a presentation followed by a happy hour/meet and greet with our project leads.

Come join us! We're especially looking for nontechnical roles like admin coordinators, graphic designers, civic engagement specialists, and more.

I am a #queer #civictech #webdev interested in #solarpunk living, a more sustainable web, and improving the world around me!

My work can always be found at https://travissouthard.com/ where I post projects, blog posts, and sometimes #pixelart.

Outside of my work as a developer, I am one of the co-directors at #codeforphilly, our projects are at: https://codeforphilly.org/

In a past life I was a bike mechanic and #biketour leader. Still ride and go #bikepacking when I can.

Last night was my first #codeforphilly hack night as the newer co-Director. Very excited to be working with Andria to keep CfP going strong! And grateful to @katjost for setting us up for success the way she has as the previous co-Director!

Check out https://codeforphilly.org if you’re interested in getting involved with #civictech in #philadelphia! Also we’re looking specifically for events, project success, and communications co-leads to join our leadership team!

Every time I talk to someone about the expungement petition generator app I work on with #codeforphilly, they tell me about a personal or family member’s experience with the justice system.

Having charges on your record is paralyzing and especially frustrating when it’s charges that we’re not convictions and often never prosecuted, but still show up on a background check.
