Matthew Somerville - Poplus Components

Civic websites often need the same basic functionalities, no matter what kind of legislature or form of government they operate within. Poplus is an open federation of people and organisations from many different countries, building technologies that can hopefully save us all time and money by re-using each others work.

I will introduce and show examples of some of the components to which I have contributed, such as MapIt, a tool for mapping points or postcodes to things such as administrative areas, PopIt, a place to store lists of people and their positions and organisations, and SayIt, for making and storing easy to use transcripts of things such as meetings, trials, or assemblies.
