E-Democracy.Org, a non-profit based in Minnesota, is plotting a design sprint for the GPL GroupServer - http://groupserver.org - tool that it uses to host local and neighborhood issues forums - http://forums.e-democracy.org - in the area (as well as a few other states, England, and New Zealand.) The date of the sprint is contingent on who steps up.
