PWAs, are we there yet?!
Progressive web applications are the new hip and all the cool kids are on board. They are slowly becoming an industry standard for building web applications. With reliability, speed and immersive user experience in mind, PWAs help you reach a broader audience. But what are the gotchas? Let's explore some of the limitations we might encounter compared to native applications. Which traditionally native features are now available for PWAs to use and which are in development? All browsers are on the same page, supporting features like Service Workers is key but which are differences in API implementation and what bugs should we be aware of? After this session you'll walk away with a clear idea on which is the current state of PWAs, its limitations as well as its strengths.
Show me the data. Where big data meets PR #PRshow13
The document discusses how big data is changing the field of public relations. It defines both big data and public relations. Big data refers to extremely large data sets that are difficult to process using traditional tools due to their size and complexity. Public relations aims to build goodwill between an organization and its audiences. The document argues that as communication evolves, big data represents an opportunity for public relations to link reputation management to business outcomes. It provides examples of how big data can be used to understand audiences and measure campaign success. While acknowledging big data's limitations, the conclusion is that data is transforming the practice of reputation management and PR professionals need to learn how to use it effectively.

City Forward and Open Data Standards
From the White House to your local municipality, government agencies, NGOs, and corporations are making more data and applications available to citizens. Government agencies are promoting not only data, but application programming interfaces (APIs) and interactive widgets to help developers get access to timely data. Now anyone can look for patterns in data and identify trends that offer insight into issues facing people today.
The open data movement is global. In July of 2011, the Open Government Partnership was launched to increase civic participation, fight corruption, and use technology to be more effective and accountable. President Barack Obama said, “I want us to ask ourselves everyday, how are we using technology to make a real difference in people’s lives.”
In the meantime, open data standards are evolving and maturing. Sites like dbpedia, freebase, data.gov.uk, Dublinked and others are cataloging data in Resource Description Framework (RDF) to make data accessible anywhere anytime. New standards such as Open Data Protocol (OData) are maturing and being adopted by more open data practitioners.
Corporations are doing their part as well. IBM Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs is sponsoring City Forward, a free, web-based platform that enables users–city officials, academics and interested citizens–to view and interact with data while engaging in an ongoing public dialogue.
To learn more about the open data movement and how City Forward is addressing data, the value proposition, and legal challenges associated with enabling open data, view the City Forward Open Data Standards presentation.

The document calls for people to look, listen, and learn; to get outside their normal perspective; and for small teams to shape how communities are designed and engaged through teaching, networking, and prioritizing good people over just good design.

What's Missing from Smart Cities
On smart cities, the internet of things, open data, and the need for better story telling & user-driven development/design.
Technology & the Liberal Arts: What Ought We Build
These are abbreviated notes from my address to Claremont McKenna College (my alma mater) at the 2013 Forum for the Future event.
On Innovation & Cocktail Party Economics
This document discusses innovation through concepts like cocktail party economics, keeping things simple, having empathy, and embracing failure. It suggests innovation can happen by discussing ideas with others, focusing on understandable solutions, considering different perspectives, and learning from mistakes.
Open Source & Data in the City of Angels
User research on data.lacity.org found that most common question was "What is data?", so the site was redesigned to explain data on the homepage. This led to a significant decrease in the bounce rate, from 50% to 5%, as more users were sticking around on the site after the redesign. The redesign also included moving data visualization dashboards to new platforms like Google Docs spreadsheets and using open source tools to make data more accessible.
Fabrique de la Cite: DataLA
This document discusses strategies for building an open data community in Los Angeles. It recommends focusing on users, changing citizens' experience of civic technology, enabling a community through challenges and collaboration, and engaging institutions to support open data initiatives. Key points include measuring a reduction in bounce rates on an open data portal site after redesign, highlighting civic apps and competitions, and noting the economic value of open data reported by McKinsey as $3 trillion across industries.
Government is What You Make of It
This document discusses the evolution of websites and the internet over time. It notes that in 2003, 3 of the top 10 websites were government websites, but that by 2013 none were. It also discusses the shift from passive to active and consumptive to participatory use of the internet. Finally, it discusses strategies for governments to better utilize open data and civic technologies to engage citizens.
APA2014: Designing for Participation
Strategies for increasing engagement for public participation tools online. The notion that "If you build it, they will come," doesn't really apply, particularly in the civic tech space, so we have to get creative on getting users engaged and keeping them engaged. Tips include using physical space, borrowing "upsell" tactics from the consumer sector, etc.
Philly Emerging Tech for the Enterprise: Tech & Government for the 21st Century
This document discusses the intersection of technology and government in the 21st century. It notes that government services are increasingly technological and that ignorance of technology is no longer acceptable for government managers. It provides examples of initiatives using design thinking and new technologies to improve government services and civic engagement, such as enabling digital communication, creating algorithms to determine school assignments, developing apps to track blight, and designing interfaces for government services that are simple and easy to use. The document advocates for a more productive relationship between citizens and government through civic startups and technologies that focus on user needs.
Collaborative Governments: A Tale of Two Cities
The document discusses several civic technology projects started by Code for America brigades in various cities across the United States and around the world. These projects include Street Bump, which uses phone sensors to identify potholes; Pair Programming, a tutoring program; Textizen, a website to make government data more accessible; and projects focused on open data, public art, and non-emergency services. The document outlines how Code for America aims to foster collaboration between technologists and local governments to build digital tools that solve problems and make cities run better.
Designing Citizenship - InciteXchange - Nemani - Feb 16
This document discusses an app called Adopt-a-Whatever that has expanded to serve 7 cities and address various community needs. It highlights the challenges of getting communities engaged in innovation efforts and rebuilding trust between citizens and government. The Code for America fellowship program is described as a model for community engagement, with examples of civic projects like Septa.Mobi and DiscoverBPS.org that were created through the fellowship to design better civic experiences.
NICAR - Abhi Nemani - Feb 25
The document discusses an organization that is working to rebuild civic trust by applying pressure from both the community and the city, and by connecting the two through startups. It aims to transition cities from closed and disconnected to open and innovative using three approaches: a brigade of volunteers, a civic fellowship program, and a startup accelerator. It provides examples of projects involving opening up civic data, creating open source tools, and designing better digital experiences for civic services. The overall goal is to make government more transparent and responsive to residents through civic technology and open data initiatives.
Cfa web deck
This document summarizes Code for America, a fellowship program that connects web professionals with city governments. It discusses challenges facing cities, how Code for America recruits fellows to use web technologies to solve city problems, and provides examples of 2011 projects in Boston, Seattle, and Philadelphia. These included developing a student data platform in Boston, civic leader networks in Seattle and Philadelphia, and the Civic Commons project to share public technologies. It encourages cities to apply for the 2012 program and ways for others to get involved through donations or recommending the program to their city.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
