Hi Brian,
Here's a stat that might be helpful.
By putting their meeting videos online, Lancaster County, PA, went from
an annually measurable reach of approximately 1,000 constituents to an
actual measured reach of over 50,000 in just over two years.
Thanks,
Justin Mosebach

Hey all,
I want to pick the collective brain. A colleague, Sean Hudson, and I
are
going to be presenting at the fall meeting of CGAIT (the Colorado
Government
Association of Information Technology) about data transparency. Sean
and I
made a simpler presentation to this group last spring, but we intend the
drive home the importance of data to the CGAIT members. I would
appreciate
any ideas, case studies, and such from anyone in the group. I will
share
our Prezi and any materials we produce as well.
The following is the presentation discription:
Governmental agencies are great at collecting data; however we tend to
fall
down when it comes to actually making the data accessible and useful to
the
public. Today's citizens are armed with the knowledge and technology to
benefit (and often demand) the data that's behind your firewall.
Especially
during tough economic times, you don't want to be caught unprepared for
the
changing expectations. Find out why you should make your data publicly
available, see examples of how citizens and businesses are using data,
and
find out how you can get started. At the end of this session, you will
have
all the tools you need to create an open data catalog and the knowledge
to
prepare you for a data-driven future.
Note that one of the tools, we will discuss is opencolorado.org. This
Web
site is part of Colorado Smart Communities, whch is a newly formed
non-profit with the purpose of promoting open government in Colorado.
Sean
is the founder and President and I am a director and vice-president.
the
opencolorado.org Web site includes a data catalog run using CKAN and
Drupal
as the CMS. We use data.gov.uk as our model.
Cheers,
Brian

Hi Brian
There is the link I posted a couple of weeks ago to information on the
UK's "New Public Sector Transparency Board and Public Data Transparency
Principles"
(http://data.gov.uk/blog/new-public-sector-transparency-board-and-public
-data-transparency-principles).
Some members replied to that on list with their own thoughts and some
links.
Also just published is a paper from Digital Brand called "Open
Government
- The State of Play 2010"
(http://www.slideshare.net/egovrc/open-government-the-state-of-play) -
this has quite a few good references and links in addition to being a
well
written and thought out piece on issues and approaches to Open
Government
and Open Data in various jurisdictions.
I've cc'd a colleague within the .gov.au sphere who has an active
interest
in this issue and may be able to point you to more material, as well as
Anni Rowland-Campbell from Digital Brand who may be happy to provide you
with more information on their research.
Hope it goes well at the CGAIT conference!
Cheers
Chris
