Staff Picks is dedicated to surfacing the best music, film, and art downloads on the Internet; digitally handmade by BitTorrent Publishers. Read on for this week’s finds.
\nBitTorrent was founded to support certain freedoms. The right to speak. The right to connect. The right to create. The right to an open Internet, and a better shared Internet future. These freedoms should be hardcoded. They can be: thanks to people like you.
\n\nIf you’re a developer, designer, research, or product manager looking to use your skills for good, we’ve got an awesome project. Code for America is looking for 2015 Fellows to help apply innovative technology and thinking to some of the problems our governments face.
\nIn the four years Code for America has been doing this work, 102 fellows have been embedded in 32 local governments across the U.S. to build applications that address issues that are important to the local community.
\nFellows have worked on projects to increase access to social services, explore alternatives to incarceration, and create new avenues for public participation. Fellows have worked with their government partners to leverage data to make more informed decisions and design government services so that they work for the residents who use them. Fellows have helped launch Brigades in their cities, and have forged relationships between community groups and the government so that they can work on the issues facing their communities together.
\nCode for America is looking for 2015 Fellows to help collaborate on new government solutions. Want to see how it all works? Download the BitTorrent Bundle, for an interactive guide to Code to America: featuring videos, interviews, and more.

BitTorrent Bundle is an alpha project made with and for the web’s creative community. Our mission is to help artists connect directly with fans, inside the content they share.
\nEach BitTorrent Bundle allows artists to distribute content directly to the Internet. An each Bundle comes with a key. Fans can unlock artist content with an email address. The idea is to make each song a storefront, and each file more valuable, each time it’s shared. Got ideas for the next BitTorrent Bundle? Hit us up.
