The 21st century society has moved to the digital domain, this is a key factor to understand the adoption of the Smart City concept. However, beyond technology, there are some questions that must be taken into account in the social, cultural and economic areas to better develop the Smart City. Last but not least ICT technologies have transformed the way that public administrations work internally as well as their relationship with citizens, who become an active part in the management of the city.

Towards a Citizen Internet: The Opportunity for Civic SoftwareJennifer Pahlka
The last decade has seen the organic growth of the web as a platform, enabling near-frictionless community-building, social communication, and collective action. But the institutions citizens support to represent our collective will and achieve our common goals have been left behind, largely by their own design. Today, several factors are converging to make recrafting of government possible, and a key ingredient are the very hackers and designers who see the enormous opportunity to build a "citizen Internet."
Technological Revolutions and Cultural Revolutions: OSCON 2014Tim O'Reilly
Open source, DevOps, cloud computing, and the internet of things don't just require new technology, they require new thinking about how society and business is to be organized. It's critical, therefore, to infuse the work that developers do with human values, and to build a world that we are proud of.
Blocked by YouTube - Unseen digital intermediation for social imaginaries in ...University of Sydney
YouTube is one of the most globally utilised online content sharing sites, enabling new commercial enterprise, education opportunities and facilities for vernacular creativity (Burgess, 2006). Its user engagement demonstrates significant capacity to develop online communities, alongside its arguably more popular use as a distribution platform to monetise one’s branded self (Senft, 2013). However, as a subset of Alphabet Incorporated, its access is often restricted by governments of Asian Pacific countries who disagree with the ideology of the business. Despite this, online communities thrive in these countries, bringing into question the sorts of augmentations used by its participants. This article reframes the discussion beyond restrictive regulation to focus on the DIY approach (augmentation) of community building through the use of hidden infrastructures (algorithms). This comparative study of key YouTube channels in several Asia Pacific countries highlights the sorts of techniques that bypass limiting infrastructures to boost online community engagement and growth. Lastly, this article reframes the significance of digital intermediation to highlight the opportunities key agents contribute to strengthening social imaginaries within the Asia Pacific region.

Building an Equitable Tech Future - By ThoughtWorks BrisbaneThoughtworks
At the heart of ThoughtWorks is an ambitious mission: to be a proactive agent of progressive change in the world. Aware of our own privilege, we strive to see the world from the perspective of the oppressed, the powerless and the invisible.
With QUT, here in Brisbane, we’re kicking off a series of research, projects, and conversations about the social impact of tech trends, with a view to building a more equitable tech future. Some of these topics include:
- Algorithmic accountability, transparency, bias & inclusion
- Responsible data practices (privacy and ownership of data)
- Automation and the future of work
- Data use in social media and elections
- Fake news and echo chambers
- Regulating decentralised technologies
- Blockchain for good
- End-user autonomy and privacy
Slides from: Felicity Ruby, Eru Penkman, Clayton Nyakana,
Assoc. Prof. Nic Suzor (QUT) & Dr. Monique Mann (QUT)
We will work to acquire donations and fund development of key projects: Trusted News, Outcome-based Consensus, a Mobile civ.works platform and Virtual TownWorks.
An overview of what social media is, what the impact of social media and what the impact is of social media on Enterprises.
These slides are part of a guest lecture for Hogeschool Zuyd (Sittard, NL), therefore I added also some slides on how students can use social media.
The Network Mindset Trainings offer the building blocks for what a network mindset is, and how such mindsets show up in practice. There are only two sessions; Basic and/or Intermediate. The content for all the Basic sessions is the same; the content for all the Intermediate sessions is the same.
