Social Matchbox is tonight
The event brings in members from around the DC startup and technology community for what some like to call an open mic night for hiring teams and entrepreneurs. The open format is a fusion of resume clinic, startup job fair and networking event. Attendees include hiring teams representing top startup companies from around the DC area, job seekers, founders with entrepreneurial ideas looking for others to join them, and people interested in getting into the mix.

Welcome to DC Tech Events Weekly.
I wrote a post this weekend on the multiple competing definitions of what the "DC Tech Community" is. It’s the most substantial bit of blogging to appear on Ross Notes in quite a while. It’s even got a nice picture.
The full calendar and subscription options are at dctechevents.com. Also, check out DC Tech Events on Facebook, Twitter, and the brand new LinkedIn group. One of these days the events below will be clickable, but for now you’ll just have to use the calendar.
Check out the changes at JOBMATCHBOX, and this weeks featured jobs.
It’s Sunshine Week—
Sunshine Week is a national initiative to open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. Participants include print, broadcast and online news media, civic groups, libraries, non-profits, schools and others interested in the public’s right to know.
I’d like to highlight (and hope to attend) two Sunshine-related events: On 3/19 is Government Secrecy: Censoring Your Right to Know. Most relevent to the Tech Events reader is the second part of that event:
We will be visiting and talking with creators of websites that help the public avoid having to file official requests or go to offices and meetings to learn what our government is doing: Bill Allison (Sunlight Foundation), Sheila Krumholz (Center for Responsive Politics/OpenSecrets.org), David Moore (OpenCongress.org), Sean Moulton (FedSpending.org), and Daniel X. O’Neil (EveryBlock); Greg Elin of Sunlight Labs will moderate. These sites make hard-to-find government information — federal, state and local — easy for the public to find and use and may inspire you to do likewise. A quick report will be given, as well, on an initiative to develop a 21st Century Right-to-Know agenda and recommendations for the next President and Congress.
The next day, Larry Lessig will be at the press club talking about the "beta" version of his Change Congress project.
Sure, you read this every week, but have you really integrated DC Tech Events into your life? Learn how!
