Joining us for episode one is our friend and client, Fernando Diaz. Throughout his time working as a journalist, Fernando spotted there was a serious lack of up-to-date information on government officials and candidates, and more importantly, their ever-changing status. To help US publishers keep abreast of over 400 government representatives at all levels of the US political pyramid, he created GovPack; an open-source, free WordPress plugin that automatically updates government officials' and candidates' personal and professional profiles in real-time ensuring audiences stay informed, and publishers stay up to date.
