Civic hacknight #365 - Chris Dinn, Torontoverse

Details

  • Topic:
    Torontoverse: Local media built from open data

Introducing Torontoverse (https://tovrs.ca), a local media site that imagines the city as an interactive video game. It's stitching open data, innovative reporting, and the "local web" together into a new kind of thing.

  • Speakers:
    Chris Dinn is a software engineer with passion for media innovation. He's worked on video streaming, ad serving and even (briefly) file systems for an experimental new OS. Now, he's the publisher of Torontoverse.

  • About Us:

Our weekly civic tech hacknights bring together Torontonians (designers, coders, urban planners, government staff, mappers, policy-makers, students, communications strategists, community organizers, and more) who share an interest in making Toronto more responsive, prosperous, sustainable, and equitable through design, tech, and data. Come and be part of it!

7:00-7:20 = Welcome and Introductions
7:20-7:50 = Presentation and Q&A/discussion
