Local Government Has a Brand Problem: Presentation to the America Association...
Local government provides important services like streetlights and road maintenance that citizens benefit from but may take for granted. To improve citizen engagement, governments must help citizens understand their role and value in local governance, see the critical work of maintaining infrastructure, and hold governments accountable to continue improving services for the community. Framing civic participation and government functions in a way that emphasizes their benefits to citizens' daily lives could increase appreciation and investment.
Towards a Citizen Internet: The Opportunity for Civic Software
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."

The last sentence summarizes that falling startup costs and global networks now allow individuals to access resources independently of their geographical location.
Involving Developers
This document proposes creating a virtual environment to help local communities develop digital applications that address local challenges. It would do this by (1) involving community members in identifying needs, (2) growing the local digital economy by enabling businesses and non-profits to build apps, and (3) adapting to new technologies. The goal is to enable people to turn ideas into innovations using new tools to cheaply and quickly develop applications that make best use of local talent to solve community needs.

Smc capital camp 2014
San Mateo County implemented OpenPublic to create a centralized website platform to meet several goals: increased visitor engagement; ensured branding consistency across 23 departments; improved publishing efficiencies; lowered costs of ownership; and promoted ongoing optimization. The implementation involved building a flexible Drupal platform with microsites, panels, apps, and a unified SOLR search. While most goals were achieved, some lessons were learned about over-appifying and sharing too much content between departments. The new system provided improved social engagement, searches, branding consistency, and reduced costs compared to the original challenges.
Innovation Capacity in Cities
The OECD Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth Initiative and Bloomberg Philanthropies believe that cities are fertile grounds for innovation. Nevertheless, innovation is as much about culture, people, leadership and engagement as it is about technology and data. Both organisations have joined forces to assess how cities around the world are developing their capacity to innovate and to what extent such innovation improves resident outcomes. This webinar shared key findings from the forthcoming OECD/Bloomberg Enhancing Cities Innovation Capacity report based on responses to the joint Survey on Innovation Capacity to more than 80 cities from around the world.
Virtual.collection
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 2010 ACA International Convention about changing communication habits and the evolution of technologies that demand faster response times. It discusses how payment habits have changed with more electronic payments and less check usage. It also describes a case study of a company that implemented a virtual collections agent on a website to provide debtors a self-service option to make payments online at any time.

This document discusses how social software can provide business value by enabling knowledge sharing, collaboration, and networking within and outside organizations. It notes that social interactions drive business transactions and that social networking tools can help connect isolated knowledge workers and stop valuable corporate knowledge from being trapped in silos. Examples are provided of how a business social network was used by the BlackBerry Partners Fund to manage business plans and collaborations, and by Motorola to connect user groups. Metrics for measuring return on investment from social software are also outlined.
Digital Communities Article 2010
Local governments across the country are facing budget shortfalls due to the economic recession. To save money, many are turning to shared services where jurisdictions collaborate on technology solutions rather than each maintaining separate systems. This allows costs to be distributed across multiple agencies. Examples discussed include Fort Collins, Colorado housing their email services with the local school district to save $55,000 annually, and a consortium in Minnesota implementing shared ticket-writing software for police. Shared services are seen as a way for governments to obtain sophisticated applications they could not otherwise afford on their own.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Editor's Notes
- And we think there is – now, especially. There are powerful trends in society and technology that could be leveraged for city governments. First are the developments in the web to be more interactive and open, which organizations have used to be more innovative, efficient, and dynamic. Second is the increased interest in public serviec, with record levels of volunteerism and engagement. We think we can couple these forces to create a new kind of public service – a fellowship for techies to help city governments.
- For Boston, we plan to build on top of those cards to create a privacy sensitive application program interface – or API -- that will unite this data and enable a whole host of awesome applications. It’s basically a fundamental language that’ll allow those separate databases to talk to each other. In building the api, we’ll be creating a buffer between the individual department data, and publicly available data so that developers can build applications like administrative dashboards, teacher extra curricular assignments or health form storage for parents. We plan to create this system in a nonspecific method where any school district can use it, they just have to write the connectors to their own databases.
