Andrew, we put together a team to brief on the subject of Implementing Web 2.0 in the U.S. Government.
We did attend last year and I found it relevant and useful. I got a chance to meet Katie Payne, the Author of Measuring Public Relationships there, bought her book and put some of her ideas to work. I blogged about the event and provide links to her book and materia....
We've also implemented a secure, DoD-only version of Facebook called MilBook. We in the DoD aren't completely open, but something like this is a huge step for us towards openness and transparency.
We've also embraced Web 2.0 technologies and would like an opportunity to speak about the subject at the conference. My team, the Business Transformation Agency, prepared a presentation titled "Implementing Web 2.0 in the U.S. Government" and are going through the process of gathering the required Twitter votes to get this presentation ranked high enough to give it.
If you or any of your readers would like to "get us to the show," all they need to do is use their Twitter account and vote at the OGI site.
The voting method requires a connection to your Twitter account, so don't be disturbed when you see the message that allows it access. It doesn't SPAM or anything - and if you don't like it, your can always remove connections from your Twitter account immediately afterward.
Please consider voting for "Implementing Web 2.0 in the U.S. Government". Just click the link and cast your vote. -
