Monday's Open-Gov mtg & webcast

[Stephen Buckley]

You are invited to attend (either in-person or online) a conference this Monday morning (9:30-12:30pm EST) entitled "Open Government: Strategies and Tactics from the Playbook".

Note: This was originally publicized as an "unconference" to follow release of the White House's "Open Government Directive" (which has not yet been released).

Here's a description of the event (see below), along with a link for more information about attending.  To view the live webcast, you first need to register so that the web-link can be sent to you by email.

This will be the first in a series around the Open Government Directive and specifically designed to create a community of support for implementation.

Who: Those who are blazing the trail of open government-- this first event is for pioneers who have already begun work prior to the Open Government Directive being released.

Why: Successful implementation of the Open Government Directive will require a sustained effort by the open government community. This series of workshops will build upon previous conferences to foster sustained knowledge sharing among open-gov pioneers until the open government movement goes mainstream within government.

What: This event will provide space for conversation about effective open government practices that have already been implemented, with an eye toward the upcoming Open Government Directive. Video and slides from all the presentations will be compiled into an evolving resource entitled the Open Government Playbook that to which anyone may contribute.
