DESCRIPTION:The process of drawing new political boundaries in representati
 ve democracies has generally been done with closed source software. Howeve
 r\, a number of open source products are changing the way governments draw
  their jurisdictions. The QGIS Redistricting Plugin has been used to redis
 trict communities in the United States\, Canada\, and Australia\, and othe
 r open source software such as DistrictR has been used to redistrict the U
 nited States in their previous cycle\, significantly cutting the cost need
 ed to participate in this activity and allowing individuals to make better
  contributions. At its core\, the software is simple but powerful: it allo
 ws users to change attributes in an attribute column using selection tools
  and displays aggregate statistics for other selected columns. Join John H
 olden\, the plugin's developer\, and Blake Esselstyn\, a geographic and po
 litical consultant\, for a plugin demonstration and a discussion of how go
 vernments and citizen groups have transitioned to using open source softwa
 re in this important political area.
