Open Tech Calendar

In partnership with the Responsible Tech Collective, we're running an event starting the process of mapping Greater Manchester's ethical tech ecosystem. Join us!

For years we've been wanting to map the local tech for good and responsible tech sector. We know people in all sectors are doing great stuff and could benefit from seeing who else is working on what so they can collaborate.

Behind the scenes (and also at a collaborative mapping kick off event in 2019) a bunch of people have been doing some thinking about this, but we want to test where we're at out in the wild and we need some help.

We'll be using the session to:

- Revisit the purpose of the map
- Showcase the forms, language and definitions that we're starting with
- Enable the Responsible Tech Collective and Tech for Good Live communities test the map's infrastructure through inputting organisation and initiative focused information
- Get your feedback on the forms and project so that we can figure out next steps on ownership, governance and visualisation of the data

So if you, your organisation or an initiative you're involved in creates tech for good, civic tech or practises responsible tech, come along! If you're a data geek, coma along! If you're just curious, come along!
