Let me know what you think of my recent editorial on the Open Government Dashboard: The OMB ethos on transparency is "I'm OK, You're OK" http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/transparency-im-ok-youre-ok/2010-09-02

Excellent post by Wayne Burke entitled "OpenGov End Goals" -
http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/opengov-end-goals

Excerpt: Maxine Teller and I had a brief conversation at GovLoop's GovUp last night about what the goal of the OpenGov movement actually is (and how it's currently rather ill-defined). As I'd been thinking along the same lines, I suggested that we start a public conversation around this idea and see what happens. This is the beginning of that.

Fear that very few people know about Open Gov outside the Beltway...but Craigslist creator (and GovLoop Advisory Board Member), Craig Newmark trying to raise awareness:
Definitely agree with this article and grateful for Craig Newmark's efforts to make more people aware of Obama "Open Gov" initiative:

No I did not attend, but agree with the critical need for data quality, sound statistics, and especially data science - see http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/06/what-is-data-science.html and http://semanticommunity.net/

Did anyone go to the Brookings Institute event yesterday? It was sort of a "state of IT address" from Vivek Kundra, Aneesh Chopra and Phil Weiser.
I've found some criticism about the quality of the data being released through the Open Government Directive interesting--that much of it does not provide enough context about how data was collected or provide accessibility through common software programs.
Kundra addressed that issue by explaining all the ways agencies ensure that released data is high quality. (http://bit.ly/9SAHBg) Just curious what this group thinks... do you think most agencies are just throwing a CSV file up somewhere? Is that enough? Would further information on data sets be considered "massaging" data too much?

Steve. Good luck with Lisa. She is very energized about Open Government. You may want to view our past interview with her at the Charles Sumner School. I think in the coming days you and I should talk about a possible tag team approach to interviews as we are now past the bell curve of plans being implemented and are now in the public watching phase. From Agency to Agency the big question from the pubic on any new initiative is usually ..So how will this OGD help to improve my condition?

A two person talk show hosting may be able to help drive movement that leads to a more problem identification, solution based result.

Give Lisa regards from OGTV and again, good luck.
