Want to do something practical for IndyWales but not sure what? Or full of ideas and need a bit of company and encouragement to crack on? Got a great idea for developing a resource to inform, educate, persuade, or challenge ideas about independence? Want to start a blog but not sure how? Or keep meaning to comment on all those other blogs and podcasts? Want to fix Wales’ under-representation on Wikipedia?
Let’s do it!
There will be a “hackathon” style even in Swansea on the 6th May where you can get involved in any and all of the above and more. Bring your IT, bring your ideas and skills and knowledge and let’s create great stuff together!

Venue to be determined once we’ve discussed funding and investigated a few options.

Nope! Some people will want to tackle specifically IT tasks with data and wiki editing but just as important are people who can write content which persuades or simply adds their own point of view.
