Community Interviews

Thursday, August 20th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

A few weeks ago, we wrote a blog post entitled “The Way Forward, Part Two“. In it, we asked a series of questions centred around improving our product.

You may have noticed today that we launched the Guest Blogger Program. This was borne out of a meeting we had early on with a member of our community. We have since sifted through our attendee registration lists and have selected core members of our community, and those emails will be sent out today (some of you have already responded, thank you!).

These interviews are centred around 4 questions:

  1. What do you like about our events?
  2. What do you dislike about our events?
  3. Who would you like to hear speak at our events?
  4. If you could change one thing about what we do, what would it be?

But we’re not just sticking with that core group. We’d like to hear from you as well! If you have attended an event in the past (or even if you haven’t), and you’re interested in the programming that we offer, we’d like to talk with you. Drop us a note or hit us up on Twitter to setup a meeting (we’ll even buy the coffee!). Alternatively, you can post up in the comments below. ↓

We’re always happy to have people write guest posts here on the Refresh blog. It goes without saying that there is so much going on in our industry that we simply cannot cover it all on our own. With this in mind, we would like to unveil our guest blogger program and welcome anyone willing to share news, insights or opinions.

The Introduction

I have lived in this wonderful city on and off for about 6 years now. I love that my current neighborhood is situated near a few major lines of transit, numerous shops and within walking distance of some of Toronto’s most beautiful greenspace.

Interview with Kieran Huggins from MyTTC

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

We sat down with Kieran Huggins, Rails junkie and coder extraordinaire to talk about MyTTC.

Refresh Events: Hey Kieran, thanks for sitting down with us. Tell us a bit more about MyTTC and why it’s so awesome.
Kieran Huggins: Hey, thanks for having us (again)! MyTTC is both a public transit trip planner, and an open repository of schedules, stop, station & route information for the TTC. The public website is aimed at transit riders who either want to find out how to get somewhere, or want to find a better alternative to their daily commutes.
