Global Perspectives on Partnership & Innovation

DATA IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE DIGITAL AGE.
And publicly available data can now illuminate solutions to challenges like no other time in our history. There is no single entity that collects and manages more data than government. Unfortunately, many of the systems and processes that collect this data have not kept up with the demand and the potential for it.
The world-wide Open Data movement asks government entities of all sizes to make their data—a public asset—available to developers and entrepreneurs so its potential can be realized.
Go Code Colorado is taking a lead position in this movement.
The first and only statewide effort of its kind, Go Code Colorado brings together a community of entrepreneurs, business partners, and developers to make use of public data through a series of events. These events center around a challenge weekend in five cities across the state, engaging the entire state in two days of innovation around the use of public data. Teams in each of the five cities compete to build apps that use public data to help businesses make smarter decisions. Two teams from each city move on in the competition, getting help from a network of mentors—including a mentorship weekend in Boulder—as they further develop their ideas. The teams come back together again for a final event where they pitch their ideas to judges.
The three teams deemed the best are awarded a contract with the state—an invaluable first customer to a fledgling business that provides critical initial revenue.
Go Code Colorado is an initiative through the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, which seeks to return value to Colorado businesses from business registration fees they collect. In its inaugural year, this is the value Go Code Colorado returned to our state:
COMMUNITY BUILDING AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Go Code Colorado increased civic engagement in the business, entrepreneurial, and tech communities.
Business leaders volunteered their time across the event series because they desire more access to government data—they know how important this is.
Dozens of business leaders volunteered a day with Go Code Colorado organizers to define the problems they face that public data can help solve.
179 people attended the Kickoff event.
130 people and 25 teams competed in the challenge weekend across Colorado (Boulder, Denver, Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs, and Durango).
The Mentor Weekend brought together 23 mentors to meet with ten teams.
The Final event attracted 223 people.
29 businesses supported open data and Go Code Colorado through $75,000 in cash donations and $120,000 worth of in-kind donations.
Companies like Google, Esri, SendGrid, Rally Software and Gnip (now Twitter)
TECH AND BUSINESS INNOVATION
Go Code Colorado is the most concerted effort in the state to increase the volume of public data in the state’s central repository.
33 new data sets were published as a result of last year’s efforts by agencies such as Revenue, Local Affairs, and Higher Education.
At least three businesses were created around three apps that use this data.
For instance, the winning team, Beagle Score created an app that helps provide a scorecard for business site-location decisions.
Beagle Score relies on many public data sets, including:
Business Registration dataset
City Taxes
County Taxes
Crime Statistics
NREL energy statistics
Traffic counts
Nearest Intersection
Energy rates and providers
Broadband service
and more
PROCUREMENT INNOVATION
Go Code Colorado is flipping traditional government procurement on its head, creating value to Colorado businesses and society.
According to the Standish Group, 94% of large federal IT projects over the past ten years were unsuccessful. Over 50% were delayed, over budget, or didn’t meet user expectations, and 41% failed completely.
Go Code Colorado challenges developers and entrepreneurs to solve business problems using public data by awarding companies who create working apps, not those with just a promise to do so.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY AND TRANSPARENCY
Go Code Colorado imagines a day when pulling a data report is a matter of a few pop up menu selections, and doesn’t require specialized knowledge, when data managers across government are able to focus on the work they do best and anyone can access the public data they collect and curate.
This is the promise of open data, and the step forward taking place with Go Code Colorado.

Living in Transit: The Thinkers of a World in Turmoil
War looms over Europe, uncertainty seeps into everyday life, and the weight of history presses upon the present. The world is burning, and yet—there are those who seek understanding, those who bury themselves in the quiet refuge of books, the dim glow of libraries, the solitude of knowledge.
This series captures the introspective minds of young academic women—readers, thinkers, seekers. They wander through old university halls, their fingers tracing the spines of forgotten books, pulling out volumes of poetry, philosophy, and psychology. They drink coffee, they drink tea, they stay up late with ink-stained fingers, trying to decipher the world through words.
They turn to Simone Weil for moral clarity, Hannah Arendt for political insight, Rilke for existential wisdom. They read Baudrillard to untangle the illusions of modernity, Byung-Chul Han to understand society’s exhaustion, Camus to grasp the absurdity of it all. They devour Celan’s poetry, searching for beauty in catastrophe.
But they do not just read—they reflect, they question, they write. Their world is one of quiet resistance, an intellectual sanctuary amidst the chaos. In their solitude, they are not alone. Across time, across history, across the pages they turn, they are in conversation with those who, too, have sought meaning in troubled times.
This is a series about thought in transit—about seeking, reading, questioning, about the relentless pursuit of knowledge when the world feels on the brink.
Where the Thinkers Go
They gather where the dust has settled,
where books whisper in the hush of halls.
Pages thin as breath, torn at the edges,
cradling centuries of questions.
They drink coffee like it’s ink,
trace words like constellations,
follow Rilke into the dusk,
where solitude hums softly in the dark.
Outside, the world is fraying—
war threading through the seams of cities,
the weight of history pressing forward.
Inside, they turn pages, searching
for answers, for solace, for fire.
And somewhere between the lines,
between time-stained margins and fading ink,
they find the ghosts of others who
once sought, once wondered, once read—
and they do not feel alone.
Three Haikus
Night falls on paper,
books stacked like silent towers,
thoughts burn in the dark.
Tea cools in the cup,
a poem lingers on lips,
war rumbles beyond.
Footsteps in silence,
the scent of old ink and dust,
pages turn like ghosts.
ooOOOoo
Reading as Resistance
These young women do not read passively. They underline, they take notes, they write in the margins. They challenge the texts and themselves. They read because the world demands it of them—because, in a time of conflict and uncertainty, thought itself is an act of resistance.
Their books are worn, their pages stained with coffee, their minds alive with the urgency of understanding.

Kate Raworth – Doughnut Economics (rethinking economic models for social and ecological justice)
Donna Haraway – Staying with the Trouble (rethinking coexistence and posthumanist futures)
The Future of Thought
These are not just books; they are weapons, tools, compasses. These women read not for escapism, but for resistance. In a time of political upheaval, climate catastrophe, and rising authoritarianism, they seek alternative visions, radical possibilities, and new ways of imagining the world.
Their books are annotated, their margins filled with questions, their reading lists always expanding. Knowledge is not just power—it is revolution.

From 2008 to 2012 the ILO collaborated with 16 microfinance institutions to test a range of approaches to foster social impact through the delivery of innovative financial and non-financial services. Eliminating child labour, fostering the formalization of enterprises, reducing vulnerability and enhancing business performance through improved working conditions – these are decent work objectives that MFIs addressed in the framework of the “Microfinance for Decent Work” (MF4DW) action research programme. The results highlighted one key message: that MFIs can achieve desired results if they identify an issue and then focus on that area to help their clients. On December 4, 2015, a knowledge sharing workshop was organized in New Delhi to discuss these findings.

Fabrice Florin (a.k.a Dr. Fabio) gave a talk about the Pataphysical Slot Machine, our poetic oracle. Here is the video of his 20-minute presentation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=whbUy06P0j4
Fabrice also talked about the origins of our art studio, and how it has grown it into a 'peer learning network' -- which invites us to experiment together, learn from each other and create something greater than any of us had imagined.
People seemed to enjoy this talk, as well as meeting some of the pataphysicians who attended this event: Drs. Really, Skidz, Priscilla, Figurine, Canard and Phylora.
It was an inspiring evening, and it was great to meet so many 'like minds', at the frontier of knowledge and imagination. Merci, Piero Scaruffi, for being such a gracious host — and many thanks to the Leonardo society!

I remember my dad showing me the fine art, and near magic, of the card catalog. I remember being SO amazed that every one of those cards represented a book. Each book told a story, or explained something in great detail. The library was a place of excitement and discovery. It was a place of honor and respect. It was a place of stretching your knowledge while feeling safe and comfortable. And for me, it was a place of great pride when I brought in my completed card showing I had read all my books as one of the youngest participants (6 years old) and even a little ahead of schedule. I live in Hollister now, but Hayward is my hometown, and the Hayward Library will always be my "learned to read" library and my home away from home. Thanks :)

Of the ten sephirot crystals, understanding is rather important for a society to come and accept each other they must know the way each other lives. Understanding the villain is the way the hero overcomes his foe and finally either converts him to good or destroys him for the good of all! Understanding is the way to friendship and unity as well as true fellowship, when we don't understand someone we will fear them completely or refuse to associate with them! Someone who opens up to all knowledge of the world and of the spirit he will be able to be at peace with them for as long as they accept him and he too in return!
