Really enjoyed my time in Ottawa meeting lots of folks this week from PS Engage, #w2p and Metaviews.

Lots of good conversations and examples about making innovation happen in government.
Rocking my Canada hat as we speak.

Three opengov related events in Canada:

It was a very nice mind-stretch. And it was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you. Have to do it again some time.

PSEngage was good, but the Open Government event afterwards rocked.

I’ll be in Ottawa next week Monday morning – Wed morning for PS Engage on Tuesday (and the meetups on Mon and Tue).Would love meeting other GovLoopers in Canada if people want to catch up on Monday.

The Canadian government seems to be on board with the global Open Government Partnership, but hasn’t defined its commitments yet. David Eaves offers 10 possibilities as a starting point in this blog post:
