This short document discusses the digital divide between urban and regional areas in terms of infrastructure and engagement. It provides contact information for Reem Abdelaty at lgwebnetwork to discuss these issues further.
Cloud computing provides a solution for governments to efficiently deliver scalable and elastic IT services to citizens through the internet. It allows standardized capabilities like software, applications, and infrastructure to be accessed on-demand in a pay-per-use model. Adopting cloud computing can benefit governments by improving agility, reducing costs, and enhancing public services through online applications that are accessible anywhere.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a process for collecting and sharing project data in real-time among all parties involved in a construction project. It allows architects, engineers, contractors, and others to collaborate effectively. As technology advances, BIM can be used with 3D modeling, animations, and sensors to give more accurate previews of buildings and allow remote oversight of construction. Future technologies like virtual reality and robotics may further streamline the building process and allow experts to manage jobs from off-site. Overall, BIM aims to improve efficiency, coordination, and innovation through integrated information sharing.
The document discusses how online collaboration and citizen journalism can empower individuals and communities in three ways:
1) By dramatically changing how information is produced and distributed within existing organizations in unpredictable ways.
2) By reversing the top-down model of information distribution through crowdsourcing approaches that benefit from the work of millions of individuals.
3) By changing the notion of creativity from individual production to collaborative "bricolage" or assembling of content in new ways.
Construction trends in 2020 will focus on increased use of smart technology like IoT, BIM, and drones to improve efficiency and safety. Prefabricated and modular construction will grow due to cost reductions from standardized assembly off-site. Collaboration tools and the cloud will help connect office and site teams to share project information. Robotics, AI, and blockchain will also impact the industry by automating tasks and securely tracking supply chain data. Sustainability practices like green building materials will become more important.
Podcasting and vodcasting allow educators to publish audio and video content online for students to subscribe to and access on computers or mobile devices. Podcasts are popular with students because they can be listened to anywhere and require little technical skill to create. Educators can find existing podcasts on sites like iTunes U or create their own using free software like Audacity to record audio and publish on sites that host podcasts.

The business case for contributing codeZivtech, LLC
In the Drupal community we tend to talk about committing code to our public spaces (drupal.org, but also github) in terms of "contributing" and "contributions", and while much of it can be seen in that light, there are actually very strong business reasons for publishing your code and/or attempting to get your code changes committed to the open source project that you are working on.
We will be looking at several documents from the U.S. Military detailing their recommendations for contracting Open Source Software services, and will use those as a jumping off point to discuss the many benefits of contributing code. Some of the business reasons for public publishing we'll explore will include:
* The power of peer review. With enough eyes, all bugs are shallow, and with only a few eyes the stupidity knows no depths!
* Fork you! The costs associated with "hacking" both Drupal core and contrib modules and base themes.
* Take my code, please! Cost savings from committing patches.
* Professionals publish or perish. Using code commits as marketing towards clients or potential hires.
* It's so easy, even a child(ish person) could do it! How you can easily integrate patching into your development workflow.
This session will also include a walk through of how Zivtech handles code review, patches, and deployment processes and you will hopefully walk away convinced that all of your in-house and out-sourced developers should be publicly committing their work.

This document discusses open government initiatives in New South Wales, Australia. It mentions the launch of the NSW Data Catalogue in 2009 and some usage statistics. It also discusses the first apps competition in Australia called Apps4NSW, which received over 120 entries across several categories. The document concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information for any questions.
Case Study - Making Friends in 2088: 5 short stories from MosmanReem Nasr
The document discusses ways for a local government organization in Mosman, Australia to make friends and build connections in their community. It suggests being accessible to community members, listening to their needs, and collaborating with community groups. It also advocates using social media and networking to strengthen relationships and share information in a transparent way. The goal is to better engage residents and help the council understand community perspectives.
The document summarizes workshops held by Leeton Shire Council aimed at improving the online presence of local tourism operators. The workshops provided information on free online tools and services but did not result in new tourism websites as hoped. However, the workshops strengthened relationships with the community and increased digital skills. Two local businesses credited the workshops with helping them become tourism award finalists. The council plans to continue the workshops to engage more local businesses and further build digital capacity in the region.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Pittwater Council in Sydney, Australia has been gradually adopting social media tools to engage with the local community. They started by introducing analytics to monitor their website, then expanded to Twitter, Google alerts and groups. More recently, the General Manager began authoring a blog and they plan to launch a Facebook page in October. The council chose social media to improve their reputation, engage staff and residents, and further their strategic plan goals. Key lessons learned are to get manager buy-in first, don't expect immediate success, get expert advice if possible, and launch tools gradually with a champion to guide each new initiative.
This document provides tips for encouraging a local government organization to engage more with the digital world through their website and social media presence. It recommends starting social media monitoring to raise awareness of digital opportunities. Staff should be trained to contribute online content and monitor platforms. All online content should be integrated together. Website engagement should be regularly measured and reported to prove its value in growing services and traffic. A shared digital strategy with goals and timeline is needed to guide the organization's journey to becoming more webactive.

1) The document discusses best practices for managing digital records on government websites to ensure they are properly preserved over time as required by law.
2) It provides examples of different types of content on websites and recommends strategies for capturing each as a formal record, such as RSS feeds, automated capture, or integrating with existing recordkeeping systems.
3) The document emphasizes the importance of future-proofing digital records by using open formats, migrating files carefully over time, and complying with standards to ensure long-term access to the information.
The document discusses redesigning the templates for local-e, a website platform for local councils. It goes through the following key points:
1. The current local-e sites use old technology and have an outdated look and feel, so a redesign project was started.
2. Research was conducted including stakeholder interviews and surveys to understand how the sites are currently used and ideas for improvements.
3. Based on the research, proposed redesigns included a more contemporary look and feel, better organization of content, and changes to navigation and key pages like the homepage.
4. Different design options were created including information architecture structures and homepage wireframes. User testing of the designs will be conducted
The document summarizes the process of redesigning the website for a local council called Local-e. It discusses auditing the current site, researching stakeholder needs through interviews and surveys, testing new designs with users, and developing an information architecture and top 3 wireframe options. The redesign aims to give the site a more modern and user-friendly design while better organizing content and prioritizing key information for residents.
