Here is a proposal for the mission statement of a revived Code for Europe. Please feel free to adapt, suggest improvements or additions.
#Code For Europe Code for Europe is a network of software developers that collaboratively develop digital services for cities and communities. We do this in order to solve real, human problems in a reusable, flexible, inclusive way. We empower local communities to build, share and adapt civic tech to solve local challenges while profiting from the shared experience of an international network of likeminded fellows.
#Principles
We believe civic tech should be owned by the people, open source and transparent.
Fast, iterative development and testing.
It's not about the technology, it's about the people.
Civic tech should be reusable by all. That is why i18n should be at the core of any solution.
