In 2015, I was inspired by the conversations happening at the ELGL (Engaging Local Government Leaders) Annual Conference, specifically the discussions around making local government more accessible. Though I couldnt attend in person, I followed the event closely on Twitter a space that, at the time, felt like a safe haven for open, thoughtful dialogue.

I do work on Wikipedia sometimes. Since I’ve been working for the Flickr Foundation, my life overlaps more with free content.

I didn’t mind it but I might have liked being out doing more other things.
