Mike Mathieu, founder of Front Seat (makers of Walk Score), will be speaking at O’Reilly’s ETech conference today.

Mike’s talk “Save the Programmer, Save the Planet” outlines the emerging civic software movement where tech-savvy heroes leverage new web technologies to build software with a social impact.  Mike will talk about software solutions to problems that seem unrelated to software.  For example, government corruption, housing the homeless, and halting climate change.

You can watch an early version of this talk from Startpad Seattle or follow Mike on Twitter.
