CivicPress – Open Tools for Transparent Government
CivicPress is a new open-source platform that helps towns and cities publish meetings, bylaws, budgets, and civic records in a transparent, inspectable way — without vendor lock-in. In this talk, Mathieu Hallé will share how the project began, what it aims to fix, and how open-source tools can help rebuild public trust from the ground up.
