[sudoroom] Free "Digital We" Event at Berkeley today (Thurs) 9:30am - 5:30pm

[Matthew Senate]

http://socialappslablaunch-esearch.eventbrite.com/

The Social Apps Lab focuses on creating mobile applications that use
elements of gameplay to motivate citizen learning, civic action, and
crowdsourced solutions for social problems.

The Digital We examines the premises, prospects, and projects of this kind
of social media production through a day of workshops and public
discussions.  The workshops consider research, design, and organizational
structures to create apps for citizenship, city life, and health.   We will
be presenting several new projects: *CitySandbox*, *DengueTorpedo*, *
Pathways*, and *BingoType*.
