CodeAcross Mesa/ East Valley 2014
Today's big CodeAcross event turned into an un-conference.
Participant driven, we had a fantastic mix of Mesa city staff, Mesa ITD staff, programmers, professors, hackers, residents, seniors, and even kids!
It was a great day of presentations, pitches, discussions, mapping, community building, and the beginnings of a CfA Brigade for this area.
KJZZ, the local NPR affiliate, promoted the event!

CfA at a Ruby meetup.
Recruiting for the brigade! Lots of interest in CfA and a chance meeting with the Phoenix Open Data group.
CfA Presentation at ASU
We had a blast talking with students in an interdisciplinary studies class. After giving a CfA greatest hits, featuring Promptly, StreetMix and Ohana API, we recruited for CodeAcross and the Brigade. The informal break-out session at the end gave us a chance to talk one on one and have a deeper engagement with the bright, energetic and articulate group.
Hello, future CfA Fellows!

The DIY spirit is alive and well in the East Valley region.
CfA Team Mesa has been fortunate to visit and collaborate with area hot spots like Design RePublic, along with Mesa's own HeatSync Labs, ThinkSpot, and ASU Polytechnic.
I spent this afternoon with Lindsay Kinkade of Design RePublic. The design laboratory focuses on building the future of cities through public engagement. We had a fascinating discussion about the idea of *open design*; creating a center of gravity, a flourishing ecosystem of arts, community, makers, thinkers, do-ers.
As one artist told me, "in this area, you can afford to fail."
