This will be a quick diary, because I'm about to head over to the Heritage Foundation to speak on a panel about the Open House Project, with Matt Stoller (myDD), Rob Bluey (Heritage), and David All (David All Group).
I'll be speaking on behalf of The Sunlight Foundation, for which I now work, and also as someone who got involved in Washington politics by writing and organizing on Daily Kos.
A large part of my presentation will be about my experience with this community.
We had a press conference on Tuesday in the Hill, which you can see below. Leader Boehner and Rep. Brad Miller both attended. I speak after Rep. Miller.
If you'd like to see the presentation at the Heritage Foundation, you can go here to see the streaming video. It should be a great time, as people with partisan backgrounds come together to recognize and discuss their shared interest in open government.
You can read and comment on our recommendations for simple technological reforms for transparency in the House at the Open House Project blog. The whole report is available there too.
