The focus of the mobile world is turning to HTML5, the markup language
that allows developers to build apps across all mobile platforms. But
how close are we to seeing the emergence of the real HTML5 revolution?
Is HTML5 ready to rock? Find out about a new online challenge in this edition of our newsletter, designed to discover the HTML5 apps that are working right now!
Also in this issue, we’re also talking about some other great challenges that you could be involved in: OpenCities and Commons4Europe. And we’re rounding up the usual interesting events and goings-on at AppCircus and beyond. Enjoy our 50th newsletter!
This month we’ve joined AppsFuel to launch the first HTML5 App Challenge, an online challenge designed to find the best HTML5 apps that are working for users right now. This is a great opportunity for HTML5 developers to showcase their apps and get more visibility via the AppsFuel and AppsCircus network. We’ve also reserved a guaranteed presenter’s spot for the best HTML5 app at the Mobile Premier Awards. Each month a winning app will be chosen via online voting. The first deadline for the competition ends on October 26. Send in your HTML5 apps now!

Opening up our cities
The world is changing fast, and so is the way we interact with the cities we live in. The Open Cities challenges are designed around four themes: open data, crowdsourcing, urban labs and fiber-to-the-home. The challenges are open for individuals and organizations and aim to foster the development of products and services based on the platforms provided by the participating cities. We’re looking for innovative app ideas about how to turn data into utility for Europe’s citizens. There’ll be a lot more happening and some big prizes for winning proposals, so keep your eyes on this.
Become a Code4Europe fellow!
Code4Europe is hiring talented developers, entrepreneurs and designers to help make a breakthrough in how government services its citizens. Cutting edge, smart apps will be developed and shared among six participating cities: Helsinki, Amsterdam, Rome, Berlin, Manchester and Barcelona. You could be part of this, the inaugural year of Code4Europe’s fellowship program.
Why should you apply as a fellow? Code4Europe is injecting top talent right into city hall to help our governments become more transparent and collaborative. Fellows will develop out-of the-box answers to the common challenges cities are faced with, to not only make a real difference in each location, but also provide solutions that can be used in other European cities, and around the world. Get involved!
“And the winner at AppCircus Lima is….”
Helena Virtual Assistant, an app that helps people with sight problems was the worthy winner at AppCircus Lima. Using a tablet with a braille keyboard, this app offers an easy to use interface to send and receive emails and SMS, listen to eBooks and send their location by GPS, among many other things. The Lima event, sponsored by BlackBerry, brought together a wide range of developers with apps related to subjects like culture, entertainment, gastronomy and transport.
