I would like to start my presence on this blog with a small explanation why I am here. After few months of silence of this blog – and quite a lot of work elsewhere;) – it has been decided that you should have more insights into the work of MySociety in the region, as well as news on the projects we are currently supporting. I will do my best to stay in touch with the representatives of those projects, as well as follow Tony’s travels and experiences to be able to share it all with you here, on this blog.
I have to say that it is a great privilege for me to get involved in this particular space, as I have been following the work of MySociety in the UK and in the Central and Eastern Europe with admiration. During my research, combined with work for Technology for Transparency Network in our region I came across many brilliant initiatives! But I also realised the importance of communication and co-operation between projects and people. This blog is just another way to enhance it.
The insights and the inspiration combined with practical, honest approach to everything he does, Tony has introduced me to some really amazing people, good tools and intriguing ideas – so I really hope that by researching, liaising with our projects and communicating here with you I will be able to do the same.
I am really happy to be here and looking forward to your feedback, your ideas and your conversations too!
