If you can't commit to starting a Brigade on your own, perhaps the smaller step of joining the mailing list and looking for others to help might work better: https://groups.google.com/a/codeforamerica.org/forum/#!forum...

Hmm, well if a Brigade is a team of developers then I'd definitely go for that and ask some of my friends. But starting an entire Program seems better suited for some other people I know. :-)

The Google groups tip is nice, that's a very nice idea. Thanks again!

Most Brigades are just local devs/designers/citizens/public employees/stakeholders trying to make their cities better. The 'International' site is more along the lines for someone who actually wants to start 'Code for Denmark'.

You'll notice that most Brigades are in countries where a 'Code for Country X' exists, but by no means all. So go for it!: http://codeforamerica.org/brigade/tools
