New Virtual Community Created to Shape President’s Open Government Directive

On February 16th, a new government-wide community – the Open and Innovative Government Community – was created on the MAX Federal Community system to capture your ideas on how best to implement the President’s Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government. Over the next 100 days, the Open and Innovative Government Community will convene a series of on-line conversations to brainstorm innovative strategies, evaluate their promise, and flag potential challenges (legal, technical, and operational)that must be overcome. Ultimately, these conversations will shape the President’s Open Government Directive to all executive departments and agencies. Federal staffers are encouraged to join the MAX Community. I hope we can use GovLoop to keep the fires churning within the entire collaborative community. The Enabling Collaboration: Open and Innovative Government group here on GovLoop will provide a venue to do this.
