A presentation at Right to Know Week 2014 Calgary hosted by the Province of Alberta's Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. The presentation detailed the origination and journey of open data at the City of Calgary from my personal point of view, including the philosophy and economics driving my belief in open data and how open data was received by city council, the tech community in Calgary and The City's Administration, as well as thoughts on the future role open data will play at The City of Calgary.

I’m glad you picked up a copy of our third edition of Open Innovation. It’s packed full of examples of how the open
data movement is growing quickly and becoming one of the most dynamic areas of technology today.
In our “Community Report” section, you’ll get to meet people who are bringing open data to more places, like the
executives in Montgomery County who supported the creation of financial transparency apps that educate citizens
on county budget data. You’ll also hear about Code for America’s successful startup incubator program and the
Center for Medicaid and Medicare’s (CMS) innovative use of healthcare data. Finally, we highlight authors in the
community with our new book review section and showcase a few members of the “Open Data Doers Club.” Any of
the doers remind you of yourself?
“There’s an app for that.” We’ve all heard it and it’s becoming more and more true thanks to new public datasets
made available by governments. In our “What’s App’ening?” section, you’ll find out how New York City
encourages citizens to create apps that address the city’s toughest issues and you’ll get an overview of Socrata Open
Expenditures™ and Socrata Open Budget™, financial transparency apps we designed with help from government
finance leaders.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
