Gov2.0 and Northern Voice
Great session this morning at Northern Voice, Gov 2.0 – Politics, Policy and Social Media in Canada: A Multi-Level Exploration, featuring David Eaves as moderator, with Raul Pacheco-Vega, Ian Capstick, Tanya Twynstra, and the most excellent Andrea Reimer.
More later, but for now, a couple of images from Andrea Reimer’s presentation. (Did I mention that it was great?)

Great image:
“Open and Accessible Data : the City of Vancouver will freely share with citizens, businesses and other jurisdictions the greatest amount of data possible while respecting privacy and security concerns”
Reimer’s 2nd point: “Open Standards : the City of Vancouver will move as quickly as possible to adopt prevailing open standards for data, documents, maps, and other formats of media”…

Finally, Reimer’s last slide: “speak to councillors and the public . . . not to each other” : an exhortation to get out of the echo chamber? This is actually one of the hardest pieces to actualize…
Yule – can’t wait to hear more about the presentation.

Sorry for obstructing the view in all your pictures! My mother always said I had a big head.

And such a big beak, too (although you didn’t speak at all)!

No worries, you didn’t obstruct anything for me. I could see all of Andrea Reimer’s slides – wow, she kicks ass – but is fair to fowl. 😉
