Changing the World, One Gov 2.0-Enabled Voice at a Time: Join a preview of Gov 2.0 Camp New England with Sarah Bourne of MassGov and Yasmin Fodil from HKS, followed by a conversation with Wayne Moses Burke of the Open Forum Foundation.

We talk with Wayne about tools like GovLuv – for connecting citizens to their elected reps through social media, the upcoming citizen engagement developers workshop and Participation Camp he’s working on, and his vision for advancing public participation in government by connecting government managers and staff, public engagement experts, online tool developers, and citizens.

“I think our focus as a community needs to change from ‘technology in government’ to ‘citizen-centered government,’” Wayne says. “What we’re really in the middle of is a broad cultural shift that I believe will result in an engaged citizenry. The complication on the government side is being ready for that.”

  • February 20th, 2010

We’ve got an extra special show planned for this Sunday night, as we lead off with a discussion of the Federal government’s use of collaborative online tools to solicit citizen’s ideas for reform. You can follow this phase of the Open Government Directive (pdf) implementation here.

Jenn Gustetic from Phase One Consulting Group will join the podcast to talk about the ideas gathered by top-drawer agencies, and we hope to hear your thoughts as well – follow Gov20Radio and use Twitter hashtag #g2r.

Also joining us is Dave Briggs of Learning Pool, author of a popular and useful Twitter guide for government. Dave will join the discussion of open government efforts here and in the UK, and also highlight a recent UK gov camp he put together.

Finally, we’ll be talking about social media for governance and politics with Swimfish CIO John F. Moore, who’s been doing some great analysis of Twitter use by elected officials. Here are just a few of John’s recent blog posts to chew on: “Which U.S. Governor is Really the Twitter Governor?“; “The State Department Using Collaboration and Social for Operational Effectiveness“; “Adding Transparency to the Public Meeting Process“; and, “Massachusetts Senate Race Social Media Success or Failure?”

Join us LIVE Sunday at 9 p.m. ET!
