Tech Gap?
• Cities are multilayered (hierarchical) , challenged by budget cuts, slow down with urban redesign projects!
• Old procurement structures (vendor lock)!
• General risk averse!
• 24 hours connected!• Changing needs: craving for
immediate feed-back from city!• Want to leverage on the
rapid development of Internet tech and social media!
City: Citizens:
Trends that will transform city governance ….!

• Context: Collaborative social services address the social problems in deprived neighborhoods
• Problem: A lack of information system support the practice across organisations
• Solution: team collaboration tool for agile civil servants
• Problem: a neighborhood with citizen-driven initiatives and high demand for community spaces
• Solution: a web application to allow citizens to manage facilities and reserve rooms
East: Social Accommodation
South: Spreading out tourist
• Problem: Municipality wants to enable visitors to explore outside of the crowded central area
• Solution: an engaging app for players to explore less-visited places in Amsterdam
East: Social Accommodations

Gathering open data, using open interfaces as citysdk (open interfaces), connecting the maker community, pan-european collaboration between fellows and cities. More in the workshop after this presentation.getting citizens involved, giving citizens a platform to be actively involved in fixing city / civic challangesWe bring you=> open source solutions
Getting involved
• innovation ecosystem
• ‘high and low’ level commitment
• coach the ‘challenge holder’
Professionals with a big passion to improve the way citizens interact with government. Not only making an app, but also inspiring the civil servants they work with to look for out of the box solutions, making the treshold to IT solutions lower, get them excited.
Getting started...
• mandate to act freely
• insight in structure of government
• achievable challenges (kiss)
Getting results...
• 2-for-1 deal
• working with developers is fun!
• “strange duck in the bite”-effect
marketplace of apps for civic / city challenges. Instead of reinventing the wheel, reuse what others have made before. All CfE apps will be uploaded here. Or share your own solution. Mostly free, some not.=> to conclude
Getting online...
• cities are not app publishers, yet
• open source
• fellow > coder

Lots of great digital public sector innovation happens locally.
People are motivated to create solutions for where they live and pilots often start in one locality. However, instances of successful collaboration and sharing are still few and far between, in part because there is no easy, structured way to share knowledge about practice, let alone the software and source code.
Cities also suffer from ‘not invented here’ syndrome, wishing to build their own bespoke services, which may result in them reinventing the wheel.
For Software to be Shared,People Have to Know It Exists.
(or: “Governments That Work Like The Web”)
App Marketplace:Key to Re-Use of Civic Apps
Enter Code for America Commons – a marketplace for open innova6on in government in the US that tracks hundreds of so<ware applica6ons that have been created, used or deployed by nearly 300 ci6es.
The CfA Commons was designed to serve as a community-‐edited resource that would help governments and other public service organiza6ons make beGer use of scarce technology dollars by sharing technology informa6on among governments and ins6tu6ons.
Like an app store for ci6es which is directly fostering the crea6on and growth of a community of civic technologists sharing not only informa6on about the applica6ons they use and their experiences with them, but also the very applica6on code.
How do we apply this model to the Europe?
How can we create a distributed innova6on resource that encourages more government to government reuse of successful applica6ons?
How can we start to use systems like this to track effec6veness/impact of digital applica6ons?
Open Civic project – we are working with the creators of Civic Commons so<ware to power the CfA commons, and partners in Africa, La6n America and the Caribbean, to develop shared so<ware.
Start to share applica6ons which may have been created in a different part of the world (poten6ally for a very different purpose).

Multilingual
First task is Europe has many languages, so added multi-lingual support. Also important for Africa and LatAm.
Initial build of OpenCivic sponsored by World Bank. Plan to launch AfricanCommons in near future.Also Code4Caribbean looking at Commons site. Some activity in Columbia.Different in that software often helping citizens to campaign against government, rather than with it.Similarities such as investment market to allow organizations to pool resources to build projects. Also needed by councils in UK.
