What happens when you use the ideas of open source and hackability in a society, and a city ?

Hackability: allowing and encouraging people to make an environment be what they want it to be. Reciprocity between users and designers. Transparency and graceful responses to unanticipated uses.

Hackable City Debuted

At last night's OSHEAN community forum on Society and Technology 2015, the Hackable City blog was publicly launched, ready or not ! by Jack Templin, a fellow traveler in the Hackable City conversation.

Immediately I realized he'd upped my level of responsibility to this blog, and I'd better double down and get it rolling beyond its current nascent stage. Stay tuned for more content, a deeper conversation, and some interface improvements.

OSHEAN is maintaining a blog on the threads of discussion from last night's event, which had great energy and a sense of the possible.
