Introduction
I'm the Senior Advisor and Director of Digital Strategies for Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer. We're working with Open Plans on an exciting web-based civic engagement initiative called Speak Up New York (meetup.com/speakupn
y).
Are you a hack (content creator, writer, photographer, videographer, etc.), a hacker (engineer, developer, designer, etc.) or both?
A hack (though in government that can have a different connotation...)
Are you looking for partners to collaborate on projects, and if so, what?
Speak Up New York (meetup.com/speakupny): we're working to build a website that encourages greater civic engagement by helping communities to organize through online tools. We're looking for help w/ web design and identifying new digital tools.

What is the status of the web site?

Hi. Can you tell me the status of the web site. Thank you.

I Mr. Khan. I am a community organizer interested in using multi-media technology (I mostly use video/online like facebook, you tube etc) to empower low income kids to learn to rise above their social disadvantages and negative social influences by creating both virtual and real life street level community. I do believe knowledge is power... but it is more powerful when combined with right action. My name is Priya Reddy. I can be contacted at [masked] or email: [masked] Thanks!

Extremely interesting, Shaan.
Tell us how you think that CMS/Drupal platforms might be a key part of this initiative.
