c-Government [Draft so much]
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.
Building Information Modelling
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.
Current Events Cisco III - Parr

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.
Top Construction Trends for 2020
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.
interaction design: material, form, and metaphor
introduction to interaction design process and paradigm, including form, material, and metaphor, and science fiction as design material
Podcasting At Hhh 2.5 Hrs Updated
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 code
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.

Open Government in NSW
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 Mosman
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.
Case Study - Increasing Digital Capacity
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.
Tamworth website redevelopment project
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.
Gaining acceptance for social media
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.
Webstatic to webactive
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.
