Hi. My name is Stepa Mitaki. I'm a digital producer and community activist. Previously in advertising, now working on innovations in public sector.

This tumblr is my personal warehouse of stuff I found interesting and useful. You might too, but you don't have to :-)

Technology, apps, civic startups, innovations in public sector, crowdfunding, open government, etc.
