Join us for a Code for America AMA

Hey, Baltimore. Here this evening with some virtual event news. Throughout this month (and beyond), Technical.ly reporters across all markets are hosting AMAs—short for ask me anything—with local technologists and meetup organizers.

 

And we’re super excited that coming up on Thursday, Aug. 5, at noon reporters Michaela Althouse (that’s me!) and Michael Butler will chat with local and national Code for America leaders about what’s changed for them in the last year and what kinds of projects groups have been working on lately. Join us from noon-1 p.m.

 

Interested in tuning in? Sign up for our public Slack here, if you haven’t already, and head to the #ama channel. Hope to see you there!

 

—Michaela Althouse, reporter, Technical.ly (michaela@technical.ly)
