I think it'd be good to have the GE candidates as they're announced as well, maybe we can do something around that?

Take a look at this, by the way - bit.ly/GE2017TechInitiatives - I am sure wikipedians can improve this resource, or use it to improve wikipedia etc.

I won't be doing anything pro-active on the edit-a-thon front but I will offer the space and support anyone organising - If anyone decides they want to lead on this, please keep me updated. All you need to do is promote, really.

In 2015 we had an editathon on the night of the election, updating articles as results came in. Might be a model worth repeating, as might something along the line of the Full Fact editathon from last year.

I think that sounds like a great idea/offer Ed - are you thinking along similar lines to the Full Fact event? I wonder if there would be mileage in partnering up with them again? Lucy

If you ran it w/c 5th June I can be there! If not, happy to assist remotely and promote :)

PS I've already stalked all the democracy club stuff happening - there's some good work going on.

I'm looking at the feasibility of setting up a temporary office at Newspeak House in London for the next 6 weeks for people coming together to work on tech & democracy projects.

It might make sense to do a politics/elections edit-a-thon in the space at some point(s) in this period. Any interest?
