You're early. This is Greater Washington's prototype, built during Build Cycle C04. It will change, and data may be reset.

Get involved

There's a way in for everyone.

Everything here runs on people who show up. Bring what you have.

Join a pod's research

Every pod on this cycle’s page is open. Read what it has found and add what you know.

Pitch in on a project

Projects post what they need and how many hours it takes. Start as a contributor; reviewers check work, committers ship it, maintainers keep it going.

Mentor

An hour with a pod can change where it goes. Give one session or stay the whole cycle.

Coordinate a workshop

Pick the library in your neighborhood and a few people to bring. We help you plan the session, put it on the map, and run it with you.

Offer a room

A library branch, or an office after hours. We bring the people.

Help run the region

The steering committee is working out how Greater Washington runs itself, in public. Pull up a chair.
