I'm going to do some longer post on our new #data jobs at the City of #CapeTown over the next day or two. I would greatly appreciate it if you could read, and share with anyone that you think has the right stuff! And also just boost for general reach. Something that we really prioritise, other than having really good data problems to work on, is great team culture. We value open discussion and debate, but also mutual respect and compassion for each other. #GetFediHired 1/6

This was written in 2015, but damn! It still holds true ten years later “The most common mistake folks make is to think that there’s The Government that needs fixing, but there is no The Government. Our civic lives are driven by a network of tens of thousands of different systems that have evolved over decades and centuries to be what they are today. Each of those parts of our civic lives — from elections to charities looking out for those in need — all need more people willing to help. Volunteer at a food bank or at a library to help your neighbors find the resources they need. Join a protest with people whose rights are being trampled.” #democracy #civicTech https://medium.com/civic-tech-thoughts-from-joshdata/so-you-want-to-reform-democracy-7f3b1ef10597
