The origin of Abayima's solutions for communicating during wide-scale disaster, when communication networks are severed. OpenSIMKit was a solution developed in Uganda when authorities were rumored to have launched a surveillance network to filter text messages critical of the ruling government. My team and I developed a solution that was discrete, could be used offline, and that worked on feature phones. We later realized that the tech was applicable to other markets, particularly the countries in North Africa where civilians were under threat by oppresive governments who were shutting now telecommunication networks to silence them. The development of OpenSIMKit was supported by a $150,000 grant from the Knight Foundation who hosted this presentation at their Philadelphia igKnight event.

TEDxHuntsville 2012 - Jon Gosier
In 2011, six scientists were put on trial for failing to adequately predict the future.
That may sound unbelievable, but it’s true. The story starts in 2009 a team of seismologists, who’s job it was to collect research about earthquake activity, failed to alert the public about what they observe to be an anomaly in their findings. That ‘anomaly’ later turned out to be a 6.3 quake that wrecked a town and killed 309 people.
These six scientists were later charged with manslaughter for failing to alert the public. Essentially for not acting responsibly on their findings and alerting the public.
The trial is still ongoing so I can’t tell you how it will turn out, but this story is interesting to me because it’s about data.
It’s about access to data, and what lack of access means to our lives.
This quote by Alistair Croll states it perfectly. “Data doesn’t invade people’s lives. Lack of control over how it’s used does.”
This lack of control over the data that surrounds us, is very much a 21st century problem. It is arguably the biggest threat to our individual rights and society as we know it.
So with my time, I want to introduce you to the technologies that are changing how citizens and governments interact with each other through data, and the amazing things that can be accomplished.
Access to data, is an issue of human rights. Disproportionate access to information about you, is a type of power over you.
Whether or not these six scientists have been charged unjustly, and to be clear I think they have been unjustly charged, those 309 people who died never had the chance to predict their own futures. They didn’t have access to the data, and more importantly, the system for delivering that data is inefficient to begin with.
I beleive we need to put data and tools for interpretation into the hands of citizens. This is a new necessity for democracy. These data platforms offer new ways for protest and activism.

Film + TV Private Finance Insights 2022 [Report]
This report shares insights about how the Film/TV industry is evolving from a financial data perspective.
Insights were derived from hundreds of productions prior to release. This is the opposite of box office data, it's the financial data from Film/TV productions that prior to completion and release.
To respect the privacy of the individual filmmakers and producers, we have abstracted the names of each production analyzed.
SCALETECH 2022: What Scaling $300M Startups Taught me about Scaling $300M Movies
Jon Gosier's slides from a presentation given at Scaletech 2022 in Toronto, Canada on 10/13/2022.
Prior to FilmHedge, a fin-tech that has changed the way major Film and TV projects are financed, Jon founded programmatic advertising company Audigent which now dominates the 1st-party entertainment space.
Using 6 films (and one song) as an example, here are my tips for scaling from startup to growth-stage:
1. Zack and Miri - Vet your co-founder based on you mutual interest and obsessiveness at solving a problem
2. Suicide Squad - hire to compliment your weaknesses as a Founder
3. The Expendables - know when to cut your losses with a bad hire or someone in the wrong role
4. Moneyball - track everything, define KPIs (not just for the big obvious stuff), milestones are just KPIs over time, KPIs keep your team focused
5. The French Dispatch - your company's relationship with the press will change as you grow, use the press to help re-educate the market and change behavior
6. "Know When to Hold em/Fold em" - know when to get out of your own way as a Founder, to build something bigger than yourself (by definition) sometimes you don't even need to be there anymore (graduate as a founder).
7. Avengers: Endgame - know your 'endgame'. re you building for lifestyle, legacy, or a liquidity event/exit?

Predicting Macroeconomic Trends Through Real-Time Mobile Data Collection [Pa...
This paper outlines a study conducted in Mombasa, Kenya where real-time consumer data collection techniques (also known as known as big data, real-time data, crowdsourced data or open source data) were used to prove or disprove hypothesis about macroeconomic trends. It concludes that there are many reasons to feel confident that these techniques may serve as sufficient alternatives for economic forecasts in countries where traditional means of microeconomic data collection are sparse due to poor infrastructure and other circumstance. Further research is needed to verify the repeatability of these findings and the methods soundness statistically.

Philly Tech Week 2014 - The Future of Digital Marketing - Data-Mining
Jon Gosier's presentation at Philly Tech Week 2014 on the Future of Digital Marketing, Data-Mining Online Audiences, and Predictive Intelligence.
Using Predictive Analytics for Anticipatory Investigation and Intervention
The proliferation and adoption of data, sensors, mobile phones and social media technology present new ways of capturing conversations surrounding events in real-time. There is high demand for products that allow law enforcement and criminal investigators and others to explore events by monitoring many transmedia sources (social media sources like Facebook and Twitter, photos, news sources, and tweets) and relating that activity to historic data sets like neighborhood maps, crime databases and other digital records.
!
Using a combination of the data-analysis products available from D8A Group, we’ve been monitoring unfolding events in real-time to illustrate the ways our technology platforms can be used by public safety officials to make data informed decisions in real-time public safety.
Data Mining Online Audiences with D8A Group
Using a combination of the data-analysis products available from D8A Group, we’ve been monitoring the unfolding events in real-time to illustrate the ways our technology platforms can be used by companies, PR firms, marketing agencies, political groups, celebrities, and NGOs to make data informed decisions in real-time crisis scenarios.
In this case study document, we analyze breaking news scenarios involving Chris Christie's Brigegate scandal, Kerry Washington's appearance at the Golden Globes, and the Knight Foundation who we weren't aware had any news events at the time, but we quickly became aware of two through the use of our software.
The primary purpose of using technologies like the D8A suite of analytic products is to monitor and capture real-time data for analysis and research. They are also predictive, helping to surface trends, patterns, and happenings before one might find out about them otherwise. D8A’s products work across multiple communication channels.

The proliferation and adoption of mobile phones and social media technologies presents new ways of capturing conversations surrounding crisis events in real-time. This allows researchers, analysts, and first-responders to explore events by monitoring many media sources (blogs, photos, web feeds, news sources, and tweets) from one environment.
The tragic situation unfolding in South Sudan is complex and evolving rapidly. The rate at which the fledgling state has descended into political and social unrest is distressing and highlights the need for urgent intervention. Thus, having ways to identify and engage influencers and to anticipate and potentially mitigate disastrous scenarios is greatly needed.
Using a combination of the data-analysis products available from D8A Group, we’ve been monitoring the unfolding events in real-time to illustrate ways our technology platforms can be used by NGOs, first-responders, civil society organizations and government agencies make data informed decisions in real-time in crisis scenarios.

Structuring Your Social Enterprise #FTW
One of the most intimidating things about being an entrepreneur or founder of an organization can be the first steps of incorporating and legally structuring things.
The good thing to note is that if you make a mistake at the beginning, its almost always addressable down the road (but it can require a lot of time or significant cost).
What's the best legal structure for your social enterprise? Why do these different models exist?
Platform to Playform: The Gamification of Civic Action
“Game designers are the experts in motivating people and getting them to do repetitive stuff,” says Microtask CEO Wili Miettinen.
Science isn’t so great at getting people to care.
Civil Society isn’t so great at raising money.
Humanitarians groups aren’t great at either.
What if in-game actions mapped to real-world outcomes?
This postulates what tools like Flowminder, Ushahidi, Reddit, Storyful, Crowdflower, MetaLayer, open data and others might accomplish if coupled with a game layer of abstraction.

We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
