# Open Government: Defining, Designing, and Sustaining Transparency
A workshop at Princeton University
Sponsored by the Center for Information Technology Policy
January 21--22, 2010
http://citp.princeton.edu/open-government-workshop/
This workshop will bring together academics, government, advocates and
tinkerers to examine a few critical issues in open and transparent
government. How can we better conceptualize openness and transparency
for government? Are there specific design and architectural needs and
requirements placed upon systems by openness and transparency? How
can openness and transparency best be sustained? How should we change
the provision and access of primary legal materials? Finally, how do
we best coordinate the supply of open government projects with the
demand from tinkerers?
Anil Dash (Director, Expert Labs) will deliver the keynote.
Confirmed speakers include:
Jerry Brito, Tom Bruce, Brian Carver, Anil Dash, Ed Felten, Joseph
Lorenzo Hall, Ginny Hunt, John Joergensen, Clay Johnson, Eric Kansa,
Carl Malamud, Patrice McDermott, Helen Nissenbaum, Roger Schonfeld,
