The State of the OpenGov/Gov 2.0 Union

[Lucas Cioffi]

Hi Folks,

You're receiving this email, because you signed up to participate in
the planning process of the opengov summits in May. Please feel free
to unsubscribe or change your subscription settings with the link at
the bottom of this email.

1. For those that remain interested in where this project leads, it's
been a very encouraging week! Many of you have reached out to me, and
now I want to make sure we begin to reach out to each other in a peer-
to-peer fashion. Over the next few weeks, please use this Google
Group to spark discussions which will help fill in the gaps in the
plan which has moved to a more convenient address: http://opengov.localsummits.org

2. I'll be talking with some of the other opengov event organizers
next Tuesday on Gov 2.0 radio from 7:30-9pm EST:
http://gov20radio.com/what-is-the-state-of-the-opengovgov-2-0-union/

The goal is to find ways to collaborate across events and grow a
stronger community. Please feel free to respond to this email with
any thoughts on the questions we'll be asked:
-What is the general state of the opengov and Gov 2.0 communities?
Are they significantly different communities?-
-Which voices need to join the opengov and Gov 2.0 communities and how
can we reach them?
-What outcomes do the Gov 2.0 and opengov communities need in 2011?
-What outcomes do the Gov 2.0 and opengov communities need from in-
person events?
-What are effective emerging formats for in-person events that will
help us achieve those outcomes?
-What collaboration is possible (and desirable) across organizations
in the opengov community?
