[open-government] W3C eGovernment Interest Group meeting 8/30

Mon Aug 29 18:38:17 BST 2011

HI all--

I wanted to make sure you were all aware of the W3C eGovernment Interest Group meeting tomorrow.  You are all invited!  We are restarting meetings for this group this month, and welcome your participation. The group is open to all those interested in the advocacy, adoption, and standards of eGovernment.

The mission of the eGovernment Interest Group is to build and strengthen the community of people who use or promote the use of W3C technologies to improve Government. As a part of the eGovernment Activity, the group will identify and discuss essential areas of technology and related policy issues. Such discussions will occur, amongst other places, on its mailing list, in teleconference seminars, and at face-to-face gatherings. On topics with sufficient interest and motivated participants, the group will form task forces to produce documents and otherwise reach out to relevant communities.
