Welcome to the League of Technical Voters Wiki

 

This wiki is set up for the League of Technical Voters (LoTV) Code-A-Thon. The League of Technical Voters has a main Drupal-powered site where you can learn more about us. (If you're new to Wikis, check the bottom of this page for links to lessons!)

 

The Big W's:

 

 

  • What: a Code-A-Thon (software development marathon) at which we are gonna lock up 100 programmers for 48 hours and see what kind of open source Drupal modules they will help write for non-profits! This is a BYOLaptop Event! You can leave and come back... but only those who stay for >48hrs in one stretch will get a prize (to be determined - suggestions welcomed!) If you spend at least 18hrs you get a t-shirt.

 

  • Where: tek republik in Austin Texas. They are donating space, connectivity, tables, chairs, love sacks (huge bean bags) etc. They regularly host 24hr to 72hr LAN parties and understand our needs. Yea Chris Tom!

 

  • When: from 13 October 6pm until 15 October 6pm 2006

 

  • Why: (from the 'About LoTV' Page) "Our primary goal is to involve more technical people in the political process, especially in relation to the use of technology by government. We are in a position to provide a priceless resource to our country by helping to improve governmental policies and use of technical resources. We believe that many of the current problems have more to do with a lack of education than with partisan issues."

  • Suggested Modules - These are the modules will be developing during the lockin. Most of these have been previously researched by LoTV as being part of the dominant toolset. Other groups may suggest tools they are also interested in working on but THIS IS NOT THE PLACE for a wide variety of Nonprofits to submit their dreamlist. Drupal.org would be a more appropriate locale. These tools are specially targeted for work with the League of Technical Voters' portal. (See discussion on this in the comment page.)
