I’ve always been supportive of Civic hacking and was talking with one of our members last night how we could use Processing.js and OpenCV to build an interactive projector app like GRL Laser Tag but with an important community message kind of thing and include hidden cameras for OpenCV to process message engagement and crowd sentiment.
I even feel we could build out the maker bus into a mobile civic hacking platform, while working more with PR and the other committees to do build some real positive impact with things like Net Neutrality and other issues that we discover along the way.
In the TL;DR, yes it would be more than welcomed as a SIG and I would love for the group to have a larger impact around the space and within our community around the DFW area.
