OCAD, Main Auditorium (100 McCaul Street)

What do Facebook, 911 and NASA all have in common? They all offer us a window into how our industrial era government may be redesigned for the digital age. In this lecture David Eaves will look at how open methodologies, technology and social change is reshaping the way public service and policy development will be organized and delivered in the future: more distributed, adaptive and useful to an increasingly tech savvy public. Whether a interested designer, a disruptive programmer, a restless public servant or a curious citizen David will push your thinking on what the future has in store for the one institution we all rely on: Government. Tickets (free event)

Journalism

The Jason George (100 Front Street East)

Community/Civic Engagement

Design with Dialogue, January 13th 2010, 6:00pm-9:00pm
sLAB | Strategic Innovation Lab @ OCAD (100 McCaul Street)

An important event in Toronto in 2010 will be the municipal election. It is a chance for Torontonians to have a collective conversation about the city we want, and to make the election one instrument in creating that desired future. In keeping with the spirit of the Designing with Dialogue group of encouraging positive change, Daniel and Mark will guide the group through some of the theory and techniques espoused by Peter Block, a change maker from Cincinnati, Ohio. Block has written a book called “Community” that outlines techniques and conversations for deepening civic engagement. We will have a chance to learn about some of Block’s work and practice some of the techniques. Tickets (free event)

Mobile

What does the New iPhone and 3.0 SDK Mean for iPhone Developers? (January 14th 2010, 6:30pm)

The 3.1 SDK allows in-app purchases so developers can offer subscription content and provide the ability to sell new content and features in a simple and secure process from directly within their apps. Meanwhile, game developers can leverage the new peer-to-peer connections support to more easily create peer-to-peer network games for iPhone and iPod touch by using Bluetooth.

In this meetup developers will discuss how they are making use of these new features, particularly in regard to monetization. Tickets (free event)
