Oh Hai!

Hello and welcome to myG20.org! Our goal with this project is to create a place for people to connect -- a place for people to look to find cool things to do, interesting imagery, and the potential to communicate with like-minded others, both here in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. This project is not so much about the G20, but more about the people and things here in Pittsburgh that drove President Obama to select this city to host the summit. There was a reason. In fact, there were thousands of them. And you are it.

In the weeks leading up to the summit, myG20 will be about sharing Pittsburgh with the world. Feel free to post about things you feel deserve attention -- the hidden gems, the off-the-beaten-path destinations, the unique Pittsburgh that is often overlooked by conventional media and traditional visitor guides. Ask questions of each other. Enter into a dialog about, "Why Pittsburgh?"

In the days leading up to, and those during the summit, myG20 will take on a noticeably different feel and form. As the whirlwind of the G20 summit descends upon the city, myG20 will become a real-time guide to Pittsburgh produced by the people on the ground. As spontaneous events, performances and destinations occur, it is our hope that myG20 will serve as the hub of citizen journalism and open documentation of this very significant event.

And finally, myG20 was developed and is supported by two organizations (1, 2) that consider themselves artists and artist-friendly. It is with this spirit that we hope you use and find benefit from the project.
