Possible Topics of Discussion for NYC Meetup

Submitted by John Geraci on 6 January 2009 - 3:21am to DIY New York City.

What shall we discuss at the first DIYcity meetup in NYC?

Ideas that come to my mind include:

- what is the field of possibilities for DIY-type "collaborative infrastructure" in cities? in other words, what should be possible to accomplish by applying web tools to city infrastructure?

- what would the ideal DIY city look like? how would it operate?

- what is a DIY city, anyway?

- what are some of the most pressing issues for NYC, and how can we address them with a DIY approach?

- hey, what's your name?

- what are the next steps?

just some suggestions. if anyone else wants to throw anything out, I'm all ears...

Coordination/matching app

The open source disaster recovery social coordination app that was mentioned is:

though craigslist probably has better examples of every day coordination / matching needs (jobs, housing, ride share etc.):
