This document outlines a project to create a digital cultural asset map of Renfrewshire through participatory mapping. The map will reveal hidden cultural heritage in the area by mapping organizations, groups, venues, and individual experiences in addition to landmark buildings. Participatory mapping is used so that local residents can have a voice in projects affecting their community. The cultural asset map will be utilized to support Paisley's 2021 UK City of Culture bid by addressing specific criteria in the assessment guidelines. A variety of community groups and organizations will contribute locations and information to the map.
LEEDS LOVE IT SHARE IT: MARGINS WITHIN THE CITY PROJECT, By Katie Hill, Sheff...desis_uk
The Margins Within the City project aimed to rethink approaches to disadvantaged neighborhoods in Leeds. [The project] developed a new methodology for identifying neighborhood resources and possibilities for positive change. [It] involved creative research, mapping resources, and collecting stories that visualized new understandings of the area. The project report was used by local activists and authorities and helped build relationships and networks. The methodology was intended to be transferable, with the key message being that designers can address problems in their own neighborhoods.

Mazda to showcase two mx 5 miata concepts at semasteeringnews
Mazda will showcase two MX-5 Miata concept cars at the 2015 SEMA Show to demonstrate lightweight performance. The MX-5 Spyder Concept captures the character of a vintage roadster in a modern design with bespoke leather interior details. The MX-5 Speedster Concept is a study of minimalist 1950s roadsters, removing elements like the windshield to reduce weight. Both concepts are significantly lighter than the production MX-5 and feature aftermarket parts from companies like Racing Beat and KW Suspensions. The concepts will be on display at Mazda's booth at the SEMA Show from November 3-6.

Τhe economic crisis in Greece in recent years, combined with the weakness or non-selection for a form of a national strategy that is consistent with international developments, has negatively affected the Athens role in the international trend, that is followed by most cities abroad. But the emerging initiatives like the Re-launching Athens project, the Re- think project, the Niarchos project, the awarded start ups, the volunteerism, the creativity of the cultural sector are elements and actions which reveal that Athens is following global trends and starts to form a role .
We have action with participative collaboration and we have values and we have also cultural venues to enjoy.
That is now our story and we ought to promote it.
But is this the competitive advantage of Athens?
The advantage of the city is that it forms gradually a cluster of culture, of creative start ups and of volunteering participation.
In order our story to be unfolded—and that will not happen in a glance– we need our people to believe in it, because they are our ambassadors. According to Charles Landry, “creativity is the backbone of the city, and the critical resource is their people. It is the intelligence, the vitality, the imagination and most of all the creativity of people that feed the history. Indeed, the intensity of this creative power and its exploitation, is the key that will determine the progress and manage the sustainability of each city”.
Referring to our people, the Athenians of the center and of the periphery we provoke them to explore the possibilities of Athens. Exploring this possibilities, we believe that they will create a new perception about their city and gradually they will be much more involved to the project, not only through volunteering actions but participate with the completion of them, either working, either promoting the identity or proposing further actions.
Referring to the global community, we invite them to explore the possibilities of Athens, to observe the changes, to understand that the city is open to opportunities for creation, for investments, for delight. Rome, Istanbul, Berlin and Barcelona are great places but Athens is something more.
Anything could happen in this city.

This document is a dissertation on waterfront development by Padma Priya.P. The aims of waterfront development projects are to enhance public space along riverfronts and reconnect cities with rivers. Objectives include creating accessible and enjoyable water environments. Case studies look at projects like the Jeddah waterfront development in Saudi Arabia, which started in 2011 with goals like connecting the waterfront, reusing cultural assets, and providing entertainment spaces. Limitations are that developments stop at the land and do not extend into rivers or seas. Waterfront planning should be comprehensive, sustainable, and involve all relevant disciplines.

Cultural Intermediation as the Practice of GoverningPhil Jones
This document summarizes the work of a research project team examining cultural intermediation and governance. The team took an interdisciplinary approach, studying cultural intermediation through an arts and humanities lens. They examined cultural intermediation's role in both formal governance structures and informal everyday practices. Through baseline assessments, case studies, and diary-keeping with participants, the team explored how cultural intermediation connects and disconnects different cultural sectors and communities. Their goal was to understand how cultural intermediation could help "re-govern" creative cities to be more inclusive. The team planned to share their findings through academic publications, policy discussions, and local seminars.
This document provides an overview of a 4-year cultural intermediation project with the overall aim of enhancing how cultural intermediation connects different communities to the creative economy.

2012 october pj cultural intermediation project and progressPhil Jones
This document provides an overview of the "Cultural intermediation: project and progress" research project. The project aims to identify ways to enhance cultural intermediation as a mechanism for connecting communities to the creative economy. It will examine cultural intermediation historically and critically evaluate the role of intermediaries. The research will also explore how intermediation can better connect hard-to-reach communities and design interventions to improve effectiveness. The project involves multiple work packages and universities over multiple years and will produce both academic and practice-based outputs. An update is provided on initial staffing, scoping studies, and planned presentations for the project continuity day.
2012 october ig nm historical evolution of cultural intermediaries birminghamPhil Jones
The document provides an overview of community photography in Birmingham from the 1970s-1980s as a form of cultural intermediation. It discusses organizations like WELD and Ten:8 magazine that documented the city's racial and industrial changes during that era. Examples from Manchester are also briefly mentioned, such as Daniel Meadows' photography project and David Chadwick's documentation of the Hulme Housing Estate. The document examines community photography as both a social practice and means of cultural representation during this transformative period in Britain.
2012 october dob governing culture and valuePhil Jones
This document discusses the challenges of defining and measuring the value of culture in policy contexts. It notes that data collection and defining culture and cultural policy are longstanding issues in the cultural sector. The document also examines the complex relationships between culture, bureaucracy, management, and markets. It explores tensions between the promise of bureaucracy as a neutral mechanism and the unique nature of culture. Finally, it poses the question of what is meant by the "value" of culture.
2012 october ldp mapping cultural intermediariesPhil Jones
This document provides a literature review on cultural intermediaries. It begins by discussing theoretical conceptualizations of cultural intermediaries from academics like Bourdieu, O'Brien, and Hesmondhalgh. It then lists relevant Standard Industrial Classification codes and provides examples of case studies. The document outlines a value chain framework for cultural production and defines three types of intermediaries: creative intermediaries who create art, commodifying intermediaries who transform art into commodities, and outreach intermediaries who facilitate consumption. Tables are included that categorize example intermediaries according to the three types.
This work package will explore how cultural intermediation connects communities to the creative economy through case studies in Birmingham and Manchester. It aims to understand how intermediation impacts communities and what cultural learning is facilitated. The research will use ethnography including interviews and events to examine how formal cultural intermediation has engaged hard-to-reach communities and supported their involvement in the creative economy. Local community researchers will be trained to help co-create knowledge and benefit from skills development. Planned outputs include academic publications, case studies, engagement guides and events, and online dissemination of lessons learned.
This document outlines a research project examining the historical evolution of cultural intermediation. It discusses looking at periods of economic expansion and uncertainty to understand how cultural intermediation has developed and the interests it has served. The project will involve case studies and interviews in Birmingham and Manchester focusing on community organizations, performance groups, and alternative arts organizations from 1955-2005. Outputs will include data sets, papers, and a potential mobile/web application. It raises questions about comparing Birmingham and Manchester and whether a local community historian served as a cultural intermediary.
This document summarizes a proposed PhD on the legal construction of cultural intermediaries. The PhD would examine how intermediaries are regulated and how relationships between artists, intermediaries, and communities are mediated through contract, licensing, property, and intellectual property law under both UK and EU frameworks. While the PhD aims to study legal issues as they arise from ongoing workstreams, it may be better to start in 2013 by investigating the legal implications for a specific community or aspect to provide a more defined focus for recruitment and funding purposes.
This document outlines Work Package 3 of a research project on cultural intermediation. WP3 will critically evaluate the role of intermediaries in governing cultural economy initiatives and how different actors undertake cultural intermediation. It will examine changing governance through national interviews and case studies in two UK cities. The research aims to understand how cultural intermediation operates in this changing context and contribute to theory on cultural intermediaries, economies, and communities. WP3 links to and supports other work packages examining history, values, mapping, and frameworks. The research methods include interviews, fieldwork, diaries and a workshop. Outputs will include publications, briefings, and materials for exhibitions.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
