[kwlug-disc] OT: User testing volunteers wanted Aug 5

[Paul Nijjar]

Maybe this is semi-OT since all of the projects are open source, but
CivicTechWR is running a user testing evening this Wednesday, Aug 5.
There are four projects in development this season, and before the end
of season showcase on Aug 24, these projects would like some real live
humans to use the software and offer feedback. 

Here are the projects: 

- Project LoMo: a mutual aid platform, where people can ask for help
  and other people can offer it. 

- Housing Accessibility Listings: a housing listing for providers who
  have disability-accessible units to list. The idea is to make it
  easier for agencies to place people with disabilities in housing
  that accomodates them better. 

- Eviction Prevention Workflow: a local agency is helping people
  avoid getting evicted from their housing. Currently they use a bunch
  of clunky spreadsheets. The goal of this project is to improve the
  workflow to reduce stress on the workers and make sure applicants
  don't fall through the cracks.

- Waterloo Region Votes: yes, us again. This is an aggregation site
  for information about the upcoming municipal election, with the goal
  of making it easier for people to cast informed votes. 

If you are interested in participating, you can RSVP here:
https://luma.com/a7rx4kxq . RVSPing is nice but not necessary. You can
also just show up at Builders Club (165 King St W). The doors open at
5:30pm but really the meeting starts at 6:00pm.
