@thoughtfulnz > Bird of the Year is an annual mock election with a campaign that organically mixes community participation in memes with science communication to inform about the candidate birds and their habitats.https://ourarchive.otago.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/10523/10814/NCPACS_written.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y#BirdOfTheYear #ScienceCommunication

Bird of the Year is cool. I wonder if creating a localized equivalent, following the model of local elections in each area, could be a way to boost participation in the next local body elections?#BirdOfTheYear #elections #LocalGovernment

@nzlemmingHehe. Hmm. Actually a Bug of the Year contest could be a great way to give kudos to free code contributors who fix bugs that are particularly annoying to users. Might create a reputational incentive to lift the #UX of free code UI across the board.@thoughtfulnz#FreeCode #OpenSource
