  • TransparencyCamp '11 Recap Nicole Aro May 4, 2011, 11:28 a.m. Sunlight’s fourth TransparencyCamp was this past weekend, and I’d like to take this moment to say to all of our attendees: Thank you -- you guys rock. To everyone else, I’m sorry that you missed such an awesome weekend, but we hope to see you next time around! This weekend was made possible by the generosity of our sponsors: Microsoft, Google, O’Reilly, Governing, iStrategyLabs, Forum One, and Adobe. I’d like to say a special thank you to Patrick Svenburg of Microsoft who stayed late to make sure we could finish setup and even helped us carry supplies(!). The weekend brought together about 250 government workers, software developers, investigative journalists, bloggers, students and open government advocates of all stripes to share stories, build relationships, and plan together to take on the challenges of building more open government. This year, TransparencyCamp also went global, bringing in 22 amazing transparency advocates from around the world to teach, learn and share with us here in the states.

Twitter Tools live tweet suggestions standards

    Suggestions (but not standards) for live tweeting September 6, 2011 by Steve Buttry "Do you know of any standards for content of live tweets?" a commenter asked on my blog recently. "I have students live tweet meetings and speeches. Would love some specific guidelines for what makes a good tweet," asked Michele Day, who teaches journalism at Northern Kentucky University. I know of no such standards. And if I did, I'd probably react that "standards" for a developing pursuit such as live-tweeting might be a bit rigid. This is a new technique and we are learning about it as we do it. I don't want standards to inhibit our development and experimentation with the technique. My standards would be the standards of good reporting: Be accurate, fair, interesting and engaging. https://stevebuttry.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/suggestions-but-not-standards-for-live-tweeting

    Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player. From basic charts and graphs to complex interactive graphics, the toolkit supports data management, visual encoding, animation, and interaction techniques. Even better, flare features a modular design that lets developers create customized visualization techniques without having to reinvent the wheel. View the demos and sample applications to see a few of the visualizations that flare makes it easy to build. To begin making your own visualizations, download flare and work through the tutorial. You should also get familiar with the API documentation. Need more help? Visit the help forum (you'll need a SourceForge login to post). Flare is open-source software released under a BSD license, meaning it can be freely deployed and modified (and even sold for $$). Flare's design was adapted from its predecessor prefuse, a visualization toolkit for Java.
