[open-government] Workshop session proposal: Open government dataand public action

Fri Sep 30 14:33:20 UTC 2011

Shame I can't make it as I think this session is really important, particularly on experiences of citizen participation and incentivising demand as well as supply.

As part of our www.openkent.org.uk programme, we're stimulating the use of open data through getting citizens to put forward ideas on how people can help each other where they can win prizes and then get open data developers to build on those ideas looking at what open data would be needed to develop those ideas into prototypes. 

Be great to see ideas of how to involve the citizen in a meaningful way in open data.

All the best

Hello.

My name is Aline, I'm an Italian civil servant and I will be happy to join you all at the forthcoming OGDC 2011.

Would anyone be interested in set up a session with me on:

 Open government data and public action:
 - challenges and opportunities for public administration
 - challenges and opportunities for operators and citizens
 - what is transparency really about ?
 - experiences of citizen participation through OGD
 - is the problem only on the supply-side or also on the demand-side?

The session would be primarily dedicated to explore the views of civil servants and citizen associations, activists, others on the above themes.

Looking forward to meeting you all

Aline
