Who Should Attend? The Brother Mobile App Hackathon is designed to encourage developers, designers, business professionals, and students to submit software apps or prototypes that integrate with a Brother QL Label Printer, or a Brother RuggedJet printer/labeler. Each team will receive a brand new QL-820NWB printer and supplies. Team can keep the printer as long as the team members participate in the competition. Judged by key influencers within the industry, the Contest seeks to identify talented individuals and teams from across the U.S. The prizes will be awarded to the best entries submitted. What Should We Do? Anyone with any idea that can challenge coders and graphics designers should sign up and present the idea. An iOS or Android coder can spend as little as 30 minutes to download the SDK and have the printer working within minutes. The graphics designer will design the output that the coder can print. The team will design a great user experience. Together you will try to complete the mobile app as much as possible using any one of the Brother's printers. There are lots of things you can do. You can validate your ideas, find talented people from Southern California, and enjoy a great event. The best part is that you can start now or start on March 23rd. But why wait?

From 'Open Data' to 'Gov 2.0' to 'hackathons' to 'online engagement platforms', technology is fundamentally changing the relationship between citizens and their governments. Unfortunately, understanding of what different terms mean, and what technologies should be used for particular enterprises hasn't caught up with all of these changes. This interactive seminar will explore:  - A New Vocabulary - understand how various terms interact with each other and sometimes overlap - How Purpose Determines Platform - know your goals for citizen interaction and the technology will follow - Thinking like an Online Marketer - the importance of outreach in the digital space - Does Online Engagement = Public Engagement? This seminar is designed for city staff, elected officials, school district leaders, and county/regional officials.
