Gov 2.0 Camp - Twitter follow list

John McCrory took the time to put together a Twitter listing to follow. Thanks, John!

If you would like to follow some or all of the individuals, on the listing of attendees, one easy way to do so is via the link here.

All you need to do is provide your Twitter credentials, it will follow the individuals on the list. If you are already following them, it will skip and move on to the next one automatically.



One more way to keep the Gov 2.0 conversation going!

BTW - TweepML has a good way to add people to this listing. If you are not on, or know someone who should be, the website has a process to send a note to the list owner to make the addition/correction.

Gov 2.0 - Watch it on the web!

What is Government 2.0?

Government 2.0 Camp New England is an unconference about using social media tools and Web 2.0 technologies to create a more effective, efficient and collaborative government.

Who should attend the Gov 2.0 Camp New England?

Anyone interested in improving government through social media and Web 2.0 technology should attend, including government employees, elected officials, students, researchers, and citizens of all types. The purpose of the conference is to share innovative projects and brainstorm new ideas.

PS - I will be attending and will report back during the day, if connections are available, or at least a recap after.

 

Congressional reports - Open CRS

Want to read reports that Congress gets?

American taxpayers spend over $100 million a year to fund the Congressional Research Service, a "think tank" that provides reports to members of Congress on a variety of topics relevant to current political events. Yet, these reports are not made available to the public in a way that they can be easily obtained. A project of the Center for Democracy & Technology through the cooperation of several organizations and collectors of CRS Reports, Open CRS provides citizens access to CRS Reports already in the public domain and encourages Congress to provide public access to all CRS Reports.

You can find the Congressional Research Service (CRS) here

Government that you can trust

While I work on Franklin Matters sharing information to create an informed community, the fact that there is still mistrust of government is an issue to be addressed. The ethics changes made by Governor Patrick and others are a step in the proper direction for the state level. This Common Cause effort should help us on the national stage.



What change would you like to see to enable a government you can trust?
