Reminder! 10:30 - 11:40 today we are hosting a discussion exploring #equity for new Americans in #Vermont through a lens of how they are represented by data. If you have stories of #inequity in #VT caused by data, or not reflected in #data come share them! https://t.co/TWEyX3KbO3

March 20th let’s explore #SocialJustice for new Americans in #VT with data. Are testing/vaccine info/signups from the state equitable for new American Vermonters? Where do we need housing, childcare, #expungement to make VT more equitable? #OpenDataDay https://t.co/OMB3MUiHFy

PlanScore has just launched its Score a Plan feature.

For the first time ever, data about district maps' partisan effects will be instantly available.

To everyone -- not just party operatives.

For example, here's the scoring page for Wisconsin's awful state house map:

Vermont's first executive director of racial equity, Xusana Davis, says nothing would please her more than if state leaders told her they no longer needed someone working to eradicate systemic racism in state government https://t.co/IL4WqxCfyG

@AnaLeticiaGIS No legend, hard to distinguish colors in symbology, no compass rose, no scale, and the general assumption that just because the author understands the map that everyone else “will totally get it without explanation”...

[Stone AIM Group @StoneEnv_AIM]

@geosander @mapperz Yeah... Esri was founded in 1969... so they may have inspired a few of @qgis features. And there is stuff each one does that the other does not. So let’s just celebrate pushing #GIS forward together.

Tomorrow night join @Irit_ziv hosting our #DesignThinking #HumanCenteredDesign using tech to reach low tech populations in #Vermont during #COVID19 session. All brain stormers welcome! How can the volunteers help the most? All are welcome - no skill needed https://t.co/ZABFLrQfy5

Tuesday the 11th is another hack night @CodeForBTV! We continue to work on testing @GreenUpVermont’s app. The @CVOEO and ExpungeVT projects continue as well. We will explore the city’s new open data site. Or come tell us what you want to see from us? https://t.co/47yev3kUZJ

The greatest ill of our society is not corruption in the government. It is a self fulfilling sense of powerlessness. Thinking “why bother participating, I can’t make change anyway?” Believing that makes it so. We are more powerful than we think. @ericpliu https://t.co/qQXYigtbWX

With our moving hack nights to VCET, now’s a great time for professional developers in the area to help us help the community. Our existing projects need more devs, and our project backlog is getting longer. If you have Firebase or JS skills, especially with React, let’s talk!
