Coverage of the regional mobile app market
Dene Grigar and I were the only educators at this recent mobile technology forum in Portland, featuring senators Maria Cantwell and Ron Wyden, and including a presentation by us. This is how The Oregonian covered it.

FVM at DHSI 2012
The Fort Vancouver Mobile project was featured prominently in discussions last week at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute in Victoria, British Columbia, where Creative Media and Digital Culture faculty (Dene Grigar, John Barber, Will Luers, Brett
Oppegaard and Nicholas Schiller) taught a week-long course called “Creating Digital Humanities Projects for the Mobile
Environment.” The international group of scholars taking this course -- from such universities
as Yale, Emory, Howard, Michigan, and Toronto -- learned about conceptualizing
space, coding and programming, and developing mobile architecture, design and
content. The proof-of-concept apps produced included programs for special
library collections, literary walks, and teaching foreign languages.

FVM app public launch: June 9, 2012
Just a quick post to commemorate the official launch of the Fort Vancouver Mobile app today. More than two years in the making, this app has brought together the talents and efforts of more than 100 people, and it was a great joy to see all of those using and having fun (and learning) with the app today. This is a major milestone moment for FVM. So I want to pause for a second to thank everyone who made it happen! I feel enormous gratitude toward each and every one of you! Special thanks are due to: Dene Grigar, Greg Shine, Joe Oppegaard, Brady Berkenmeier, Troy Wayrynen, Marsha Matta, Forrest Burger, Deva Yamashiro, Kapuanani Antonio, Fred Kemp, Tracy Fortmann and all of the Fort Vancouver staff. ... Additional recognition should be extended as well to Berkenmeier, director of the "Kane's Wanderings" module, for his continued commitment and advancement of the app. Besides the Kane piece, the "Kanaka" module also was a part of this launch. In addition, we gave out about 200 cards with installation instructions today, so I will look forward to checking analytics and viewing this day from behind the scenes as well, to get a better sense of the push we made. Will keep you posted on what we learn from today. ...
