I don’t normally mention my public speaking engagements, but tomorrow I’ve got one that’s free, open to the public, and liable to be of general interest. Tomorrow is the Democratic Party of Virginia’s Jefferson Jackson Dinner, the party’s big annual event. As a part of the day’s activities, I’m speaking on a panel with former (as of two days ago) U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra, Peter Levin, and Macon Phillips. The topic is open technological innovation and its effects on politics and policy, which is my favorite topic to talk about. It’s at 1:30 PM at the Richmond Marriott.
(Incidentally, I think the women’s caucus should have their own event, focusing on reproductive rights, and call it the “VA JJ Dinner.” Hilarity ensues.)
Attempts have been made to encourage the adoption of the #VAJJ hashtag for the weekend’s festivities, but DPVA is on to us.
Thanks for participating … I found your comments well focused and useful … especially for those in the room who apparently did not know of the terrific work you’ve done with http://www.richmondsunlight.com/
