What can we do with our tech skills to slow the spread of Covid19 and flatten the curve? Perhaps a good place to share/find tech-related ideas ...

[rohrpost] Digging out news via the YouTube API
I have a new digital side hustle: http://tvnewsapp.com I am on a quest to find and organize diverse news video sources from YouTube for global discovery. Any suggestions from your part of the world? The app is out in Android and will soon have over 2,000 channels from 100+ countries. I am particularly excited about surfacing news and documentaries in English from non-English speaking countries. The iOS version is in development.

Imagine if the new majority elected to your city council were on Facebook from their teen or college days - a decade of engaging socially online before becoming an elected representative. This is the new wired Minneapolis story. Seven new council members, elected at an average age of 33. This is a Facebook story and NOT a Twitter story.

The UK local councillors and Dan Jellinek provide some great context and contrasting views in the full webcast (which is nicely edited). If you want to see further research and lesson sharing on this topic, please get in touch: cl...@e-democracy.org - I'd like to build this out further and build a bridge across practitioner and academic worlds. Finally, if you know of other Facebook Native Politicians who engage constituents online, please introduce them to me so I can invite them to connect with their peers around the world: cl...@e-democracy.org Sincerely, Steven Clift E-Democracy.org P.S. I view these Facebook engaged mostly local elected representatives as a crucial bridge for the open government movement. Most of them haven't heard much about open government data etc., but they have a digital openness and engagement instinct. My thought is that we should aggressively seek to connect with them where they are online in order to introduce them to the wider world of open government. This is why ironically, an engagement space on a closed system like Facebook Groups is needed: https://www.facebook.com/groups/opengovgroup Steven Clift - http://stevenclift.com Executive Director - http://E-Democracy.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/democracy Tel/Text: +1.612.234.7072 ᐧ -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
[rohrpost] Inclusive Social Media for Civic Engagement Evaluation Report, May 16 Webinar, New Knight Grant and Locals Online Community
Greetings, I wanted to let you know we've published our 60 page evaluation report on inclusive online community engagement in lower income, highly diverse, high immigrant neighborhoods. The Inclusive Social Media pilot project was funded by the Ford Foundation. Read the executive summary and full report here: http://blog.e-democracy.org/posts/1420 RSVP for an online event/teleconference on May 16 for a Q and A discussion here: http://inclusivesocialmedia.eventbrite.com Also, we've just launched a take it to scale project in St. Paul with major funding from the Knight Foundation! Our goal is to _inclusively_ engage 10,000 residents ~daily across a network of online neighbors forums. By inclusion we mean forums that reflect the local racial and ethnic diversity in each of the 16 neighborhood forums we host led by local volunteers. Reaching lower income residents is important as well. St. Paul is 44% people of color. It is all about creating _bridges_ among diverse neighbors. http://beneighbors.org - Public outreach http://e-democracy.org/inclusion - Dry project info, grant details http://e-democracy.org/se - Example Minneapolis forum with about 1,000 members or 20%+ of households Part of the three year grant also includes lesson sharing. We are planning future webinars and exploring e-training options for 2013. While we will host neighbors forums based on volunteer capacity in communities beyond the 17 we currently serve (US, UK, and NZ currently), we see sharing lessons for independent adaptation as key to our mission. Our free option for peer to peer knowledge sharing that is open now is the Locals Online community of practice. I encourage you to join us if you either host a local online group, blog, social net, etc. or if you'd like to start one and have access to 300+ of your peers. http://e-democracy.org/locals We also host the global Digital Inclusion Network online community which is related: http://e-democracy.org/di We look forward to your input and questions on the report. ** Please reply to: cl...@e-democracy.org Sincerely, Steven Clift Founder and Executive Director, E-Democracy.org -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
