This content was produced by the participants of the Open Government Workshop at the Mesh Conference in Toronto on April 7, 2009. What do we mean by open government? How is the web making new forms of governance and social innovation possible? Participate in this highly interactive workshop where facilitators Mark Kuznicki and Daniel Rose guide participants through an intense collaborative exploration of these topics. Together, participants will create physical and digital artefacts of their work together and leave a legacy that lives on after the mesh Conference is done. If you’re a technologist, designer, communicator, policy-maker, social entrepreneur or armchair policy wonk, we’re looking for you to help. Results:Round 1: Each participant used a marker and index card to individually create a visual model of how they would express the idea of "Open Government" to someone who didn't speak their language. The rationale behind the exercise is that by using shapes, line and colour it's easier to see the assumptions and perspective that are naturally built into an abstract idea such as Open Government.
Round 2: Mark delivered a framework presentation. Mesh Conference Open Government Workshop View more presentations from Mark Kuznicki. Round 3: After listening to a 15 minute presentation from Mark, each group co-created a model of Open Government by sharing their index cards and using a big piece of paper to collaborate on a cohesive vision. Then one member from each group presented their work.
