Another community idea that I've been thinking about is to post summaries of public meetings. For example, we have the Delaware Valley Life community that sort-of fizzled out after the Hive fork.
When we regain membership in the local area, I was thinking that a good use of the community would be to post links to YouTube videos of meetings like Planning Commissions, Township Supervisors, and School board meetings, along with summaries of the topics that are covered.
This could be coupled with a pinned post at the top to maintain an index of Steem posts by date, location, and meeting type. Maintaining that index could be a lot of work, though, so it would definitely need to be a community-wide effort.
That's great!
I've been thinking about similar things because I've been speaking with the founder of Bloc by Block news. They're developing an app to aggregate local news in an effort to highlight important stories that you'd otherwise miss. And one of the features will be information about these types of meetings.
