The book summarizes the Chicago School of Data project which included a scan of our local data ecosystem from 2013 - 2014 and a convening we built on top of that scan. Typical with other Smart Chicago projects like CUTGroup and the Array of Things Civic Engagement Project, we also included “meta” sections in the Chicago School of Data book — specific details about how we executed our projects, what tools we used, and the logic or guiding principles behind our program design decisions.

Lecture on Open Government at Tel Aviv University on September 5, 2012. Event hosted by Transparency International - Israel and the Hartog School of Government,
Today's citizens have high expectations for the transparency of government - at all levels. Globally, the move to Open Government has gained momentum with 69 nations (and now sub-nationals) joining the Open Government Partnership with key principles focused on being transparent, accountable and participatory with accessibility to government data and information. Reality check - we need to change a traditional closed/guarded culture to open and transparent.
Digital Inclusion and Meaningful Broadband Adoption Initiatives Colin Rhinesm...Ed Dodds
This report presents findings from a national study of digital inclusion organizations that help low-income individuals and families adopt high-speed Internet service. The study looked at eight digital inclusion organizations across the United States that are working at the important intersection between making high-speed Internet available and strengthening digital skills—two essential and interrelated components of digital inclusion, which is focused on increasing digital access, skills, and relevant content.
As smart cities embrace and deploy innovative technology embedded in public spaces, residents voices need to be represented. To prevent disconnect between residents and their city’s technology, broad engagement is key — not only to inform residents of innovations, but to take inventory of public concerns and questions associated with them.
The purpose of this report is to describe the civic engagement and resident feedback collection process associated with a new Internet of Things (IoT) initiative in Chicago: The Array of Things. This report outlines the methods, decisions, and philosophies that went into this effort to increase Chicagoans’ engagement and involvement with smart city technology. Since the deployment of Internet of Things is so timely for cities around the world, we’ve shared the lessons we gleaned from our work. We hope this information can be of service to similar projects in other cities.

OpenGovCanada Webinar | The 3 C's of an Open Gov PlatformNik Garkusha
The future of Open Government is transparency, efficiency & civic engagement. But there are challenges (and opportunities) presented on the way to realizing this vision, including:
- How can technology enable governments to transition to this future, and how will government organizations need to evolve in process?
- How to take the Gov’t beyond just sharing data & drive more use of open data?
- How to enable “Gov’t as a Platform” to drive a vibrant ecosystem of citizen-ready applications (not just data dumps)?
- How to empower citizens to use & add value to open data apps via familiar web, mobile & social media channels?
Presented at the webinar organized by the Open Government Canada Network, I explore these topics & share my ideas (and thoughts) as to how to address these questions.
Regardless of technology it's built upon, a future Open Gov Platform will have specific properties, and within this deck I share what such a platform may look like, and what technologies will play a pivotal role in bringing better efficiency, innovation & more citizen engagement.... while also enabling effective listening and learning mechanisms to harness the “knowledge of the masses”.

Open Government continues to expand its adoption and Open Access to Government and Open Data is a foundational element. Review of current state globally with a further focus on Canada is provided. Thoughts on the value proposition to Open Data are provided as a starting point for further discussion. NextGen Open Data is an area of increasing discussions in the community these days. In addition to Open Government Data, progress in Open Corporate and Open Scientific data is being made. Bottom line - all of this work should focus on the eventual benefit to citizens - you and I.

City Of Arvada Social Media InitiativesSean Hudson
A case study on how the City or Arvada (Colorado) started using social media with a few tips on how other governmental organizations can get involved in "the conversation" with engaged citizens.
We know that the Internet can be used to donate to political candidates. Or make fun of them. But, with a little help from citizens, it can also make government work better. First, we’ll look at a handful of sites that aggregate government data and present it in useful ways. Then we’ll explore the process of distilling government data dumps and APIs to build our own sites.
Developing an online fundraising campaign takes time to plan correctly, and must include essential social and planning features. This presentation outlines essential elements of a social media campaign, and uses the Tweetsgiving 2009 as the case study.
