Via P2P foundation’s blog I have found this initiative called DIYcity. Which is really interesting as it clearly points towards a more comprehensive way of dealing with city matters and, so far, they are trying to achieve that via open data / open systems. Taking benefit from all the apps and programs that have lead the so called web 2.0 phenomena. Here is the challenge:

” can we, working together, define and build a version 1.0 of the Do-It-Yourself City, a city that operates on open data flowing through decentralized, open source tools, that actively engages residents not only as users but as participants and owners of the system?” (DIYcity.org)

Is not that a great example of Citizen Management of Technology ?! :)

RAX!
