Literally just back from #Gov20LA - and lo and behold what appears in my Twitter stream but GovFresh's video of the event!
More on the event itself shortly over here, but for now check this out for a flavour of what went on over the weekend.
As many of you will know, UK GovCamp 2010 happened on the weekend, generating lots of pre- and post-event debate.
Although I wasn't able to make it along to the event itself, catching up on my reading one contribution that stood out was this presentation from Michele Ide-Smith and Paul Henderson on the work they are leading on in Cambridgeshire.

Whatever next aye? Policy documents that the average Joe can understand? Now THAT would be engaging! ;-)

You might, quite understandably, say "nothing" given the UK has opted for "Digital Engagement" over "Gov 2.0" as its chosen matra, nonetheless the video series does feature a number of interesting takes on the impact and implications of new technologies on people powered government.
Take a look at their site to hear from the likes of htt.... Read More
