#Ideas for PhillyRising Applications

A citizen engagement application (or set of applications) that connects people to the City, empowers them to get involved in their community through volunteering and attending City related events including PhillyRising events and meetings, rewards their efforts through technology and socializes their experience.

Applications should be a mobile (web or native) designed to engage citizens in efforts to improve their City. These apps would serve as resources / tools for locating facilities, learning about events occurring throughout the city, encourage participation in civic events, and connect neighbors. The engagement aspect of these applications is critical – they should link neighbors to other neighbors, and also to individuals from outside the community who are interested in engaging across the city.

The first step for any application is to map city facilities and resources, and then use the phone’s GPS to determine which are nearest to the user’s current location. P

	A micro event loop library implementation from scratch.

	This library provides a minimal but feature-complete asynchronous event loop
	implementation for educational purposes. It demonstrates the core concepts of
	asynchronous programming including:

	- Task scheduling and management
	- I/O multiplexing with non-blocking sockets
	- Timeouts and sleep functionality
