[diversity-talk] knight civic media session

[alyssa wright]

If time or bathroom break permits -- I humbly request your thoughts on what you see as the most significant/interesting/exciting/provoking/scandalous gap in citizen data collection.

Yes, I know. My request is ridiculously broad.  But for tomorrow's Knight Conference I am facilitating  (an assigned) breakout session titled: "Filling in the Gap - Citizen Data Collection." I am looking for ways to focus the session in support of ongoing dialogues in the crisis mapping and humanitarian space.

The topic of the conference is outsiders/insiders, and since I'm pretty sure I'm an outsider (or just a pisces, and who isn't really?) I thought I'd ask for your help. 

At the moment, my closest articulations circle around the ethical (the tomnod and NSA threads) or say the motivational gaps of citizen, corporation, government, NGO, etc. I am not sure how to focus these into a successful breakout structure. 

Also!! if anyone is coming to the conference come find me!  I think I'll be the only one in a neon green dress, but if I'm wrong I'd like to meet her too.

Best,
Alyssa.
