Me and you and Gov 2.0

There’s some potentially great work emanating from the Gov 2.0 Task Force .

According to its website:

“The Taskforce is made up of policy and technical experts and entrepreneurs from government, business, academia, and cultural institutions. Its work falls into two streams. The first relates to increasing the openness of government through making public sector information more widely available to promote transparency, innovation and value adding to government information. The second stream is concerned with encouraging online engagement with the aim of drawing in the information, knowledge, perspectives, resources and even, where possible, the active collaboration of anyone wishing to contribute to public life.Importantly, the Taskforce will not just provide advice. It will be able to fund initiatives and incentives which may achieve or demonstrate how to accomplish government 2.0 objectives.”

Disclosure statement: My organisation, Connecting Up Australia, may bid for projects within the fund initiatives and one of the Task Force members, Lisa Harvey, is a member of our Board.
