Ey webmaven! Thanks for sharing that link! :-) That is a very nice tool (motivational too, even though Denmark isn't represented (yet!)). I might just as well

Ey webmaven! Thanks for sharing that link! :-) That is a very nice tool (motivational too, even though Denmark isn't represented (yet!)). I might just as well start up a brigade of my own! It would be nice though if the platform behind CodeForAmerica was more international, since this feels like you can only help out the US (which is cool too) and not your local government in your own country. Maybe that's the next step for the people behind CodeForAmerica?

  Well, there you go! :-D Thanks! Starting a program might be a little too much for me, but I know a few who I think would love to add Denmark on the map.

    If you can't commit to starting a Brigade on your own, perhaps the smaller step of joining the mailing list and looking for others to help might work better: https://groups.google.com/a/codeforamerica.org/forum/#!forum/brigade https://groups.google.com/a/codeforamerica.org/forum/#!forum...

      Hmm, well if a Brigade is a team of developers then I'd definitely go for that and ask some of my friends. But starting an entire Program seems better suited for some other people I know. :-) The Google groups tip is nice, that's a very nice idea. Thanks again!

        Most Brigades are just local devs/designers/citizens/public employees/stakeholders trying to make their cities better. The 'International' site is more along the lines for someone who actually wants to start 'Code for Denmark'. You'll notice that most Brigades are in countries where a 'Code for Country X' exists, but by no means all. So go for it!: http://codeforamerica.org/brigade/tools http://codeforamerica.org/brigade/tools
