Open Government is Participation, Collaboration and
Transparency.
How Designers, Journalist, Entrepreneurs and Programmers are turning civic data into visualization, news articles, startups and apps.
Presented by Kyle Geske a the March 2015 Ramp Up Manitoba Open Data Super Meetup.
This document discusses open data and its evolution. It begins by explaining why open data matters and how to implement it effectively through examples like the SARPAM project. While open data has promising benefits, evidence of its impact remains largely anecdotal. The document outlines how open data is evolving from Open Data 1.0's focus on releasing as much data as possible to Open Data 2.0's emphasis on high-quality, relevant data and linking it to solve real problems. Overall, the document advocates for using open data to empower people and unleash its full potential to create public value.
The document discusses how government open data and APIs can enable civic apps and encourage collaboration and innovation. It provides examples of apps created in Honolulu using open data from APIs, including DaBus for real-time bus arrival times. The goal is to transform how knowledge is shared by making government data openly available to developers and the public.
The document discusses next steps for open data globally. It notes that while over 1600 open data portals now exist, some data remains fairly useless or boring. To maximize the value of open data, governments should prioritize high-value datasets, support business innovation, improve underlying data quality, transition from static portals to application programming interfaces (APIs), and integrate open data with digital government initiatives to realize efficiency gains. Key priorities include conducting data inventories, releasing data to enable smart nations, capturing more evidence of open data's benefits rather than just measuring compliance.
The document discusses the digital transformation of government through platforms. It makes three key points:
1) The digital revolution is driving massive changes similar to the industrial revolution, with software disrupting many industries. Governments must innovate to keep up.
2) Platforms have become the dominant business model and governments should think of themselves as platforms - using open data and APIs, building their own platforms, and embracing new development methods.
3) A new vision is needed where governments create value by embracing digital tools, working with innovators, and developing open digital commons and services through continuous improvement. This will require a new culture of openness, participation, and delivery of public services.

The City of Detroit's Mayor's Office applied to Code for America to address issues related to blight and vacant properties. Through meetings with over 200 city staff and community leaders, the team gathered information to focus on increasing access to information and community group capacity. They developed the LocalData platform to help community groups collect and visualize neighborhood data, and the TextMyBus service to provide real-time bus arrival information via text. Both projects aimed to support existing community efforts and improve connections between groups and the city government.
The document summarizes the work of Code for America's team in New Orleans in 2012 to address urban blight. The team developed BlightStatus, a website that provides residents easy access to information about blighted properties in their neighborhoods and the city's efforts to address them. BlightStatus helped close the information gap between citizens and the city, and empowered more active community engagement in reducing neighborhood blight. It has now been adopted by 15 other cities and the team is continuing its development as a civic startup.

Calling All Data Scientists for the Common Good in CitiesData Con LA
Data Con LA 2020
Description
Los Angeles has a rich ecosystem of technology and data science talent. In this talk, we'll walk through how 88 cities partner with the data science community to achieve greater impact. Through two innovative programs -- Data Angels, which is targeted at professional data scientists who give back to the community, and the Data Science Federation, which is focused on college students -- the City of Los Angeles has demonstrated what can be accomplished by connecting volunteer data scientists with department data projects. This presentation will showcase some successful projects that have emerged from this collaboration. We will also discuss how other public service driven organizations (like nonprofits, foundations, and advocacy organizations) can leverage the data science community to expand their capacity and achieve greater impact.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
