Growing the Gov 2.0 Movement: Join us for a discussion of Gov 2.0 barriers and strategy with tech and politics writer Sarah Granger and Luke Fretwell of Govfresh. What are the best strategies for taking the movement to the next level in terms of awareness and communication? On this week’s podcast, we taking a 20,000-foot look.
Promo: Growing the Gov 2.0 Movement
One of the important things to consider in any kind of activism and engagement is pop culture. One of this week’s guests, Sarah Granger, was much more on the ball than me, reminding that the Oscars are Sunday. So, we’ll be moving the live Gov 2.0 Radio tomorrow to 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. I hope you’ll join us as we talk with Sarah and Luke Fretwell of Govfresh!
On this week’s podcast, we’ll be taking a 20,000-foot look at the Gov 2.0 movement. Sarah explains more:
“One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is the whole definition of gov 2.0, the semantics – e-gov, open gov, open data, etc. I was thinking about this before Gov 2.0 Camp LA, but the session with Billy Grundfest where he essentially came up with a summary statement really brought that home for me. We still are such a small movement when you step back and look at the whole of society and where they focus their energies (celebrity watching, reality TV, just making house payments, shuttling kids to and from school). Trying to get more people engaged in the discussion of where they want their government(s) to go in the future may sound obvious to those of us knee deep in it, but for everyone else, I think the novelty of transparency may still be lost.
“As I wrote in my post about breaking gender barriers, there are a lot of practical steps we can take to raise awareness and get more people involved. What are the best strategies for taking the movement itself to the next level in terms of awareness and communication?”

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.”

Something’s Happening Here …
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?”
