RSVP at: \;\nhttp://www.mobileportland.com /events/rdtnorg-mobile-platform-change \;\n \;\nRenny Gleeson\, Gl obal Digital Strategies Director for Wieden+Kennedy\, will talk about ho w corporations and their products are being used as platforms for social change. Renny's work with Nokia and other W+K clients has given him a u nique vantage point to see how people are using products and infrastruct ure in ways these companies never imagined. \;\n \;\nMarcelino Alv arez\, Founder of Uncorked Studios\, found himself depressed by the deva station in Japan and frustrated with the U.S. news coverage of the subse quent radiation problems. He wondered if he and his colleagues could do something about it by having providing a way for people on the ground to report radiation levels. \;\n \;\nThe idea and the sketch that ac companied it spurred a frenetic 48 hours of development resulting in RDT N.org where people can report the radiation levels they are measuring an d other sources of radiation information is aggregated. \;\n \;\nI n the subsequent days\, Uncorked Studios has learned many lessons from t he differences in the way radiation is measured\, where best to get radi ation data\, and how to help put the radiation levels in perspective. 3\;\n \;\nWith collaborators around the world helping them\, they are now looking at expanding their efforts with a Kickstarter project to bu ild portable geiger counters that can interface with mobile devices. \;\n \;\nJoin us for these two unique perspectives on how we can util ize these devices in our pockets to make a difference in the world. \ ;\n \;\nOur Speakers \;\n \;\nMarcelino Alvarez\, Uncorked Stud ios \;\n \;\nMarcelino left the Miami sun for the Portland rain an d joined Wieden+Kenendy\, Portland as a Senior Interactive Producer on N ike and EA.
