Editor's Notes
- Hi I’m Nik Garkusha
- By Day – I run a team responsible for Open Source strategy & Open Gov initiatives at Microsoft CanadaBy Night – I run a community organization OpenHalton, helping to bring Open Data to the Halton Region
- I’ll be sharing some thoughts on what anOpen Government Platform of the Future would look like, Platform – in the broadest sense, the foundational components of an evolved / transformed governmentwhat are some of the challenges on the road to this futureAnd how IT / technology can help bring this future closer to reality
- We’ll talk about…
- First – let’s talk about Open Gov as a movement – it’s WW and it’s…
- The participatory budget in the city of Icapui' (Brazil). It is an example of transparency, everyone can see it. But it is also decided in a participatory way, all the citizens are free to participate and bring their points and priorities.LEFT – where the money comes fromRIGHT – what the money is spent on
- It’s happening across Canada
- Data…
- We started to see that there’s a clear evolution from DATA
- We started to see that there’s a clear evolution from DATA
- My take on the evolution of Open Gov initiatives/sites: from Transparency:OpenCongressopenParliamentHow’d the Vote.CA
- ….to participation/engagement….Townhall-type sites: America Speaking Out initiativeCitizenFactory / Apathy Is Boring – MySociety .ORG in the UK
- …To the “Collaboration” inititiatives, where citizens have a more active role as drivers (vs participants) of the initiatives.
- Organic crowdsourcingExtends to gov20City of niagara falls, ONCity of Nanaimo – parks N rec (@NinjaMeg) example of crowdsourcing image / voting for an activity guide
- First – let’s talk about Open Gov as a movement – it’s WW and it’s…
- It became OSS does not equal MS
- It became OSS does not equal MS
- Our Challengeof today: Gov't approach Open Gov and Open Data initiativesin silosThese initiatives are at the edge -- first to go (Data.gov)Gov't has to change - at its coreOpen data needs to be at its core Platforms & technology that support gov't today -- need to have open data at their CORE
- Efficiencies for EXTERNAL requests (50% less requests as reported by Dave Wallace, CIO of Toronto)
- Helping get rid of the silos, and helping build the Open Government Platform of the future.Transforming – creating connections, from silos
- Efficiencies for EXTERNAL requests (50% less requests as reported by Dave Wallace, CIO of Toronto)
- C #1:Community --- the changing the relationship between the gov’t and the citizensJanice LaCouvee (Vancouver Island) concept of the Evolution of gov't - to address citizens need to BELONG Maslow's hierarchy of needs applied to Gov’tBefore:Institutions met basic needs of citizens. - education, police, fire, military, public transport, social services, town planning, water services, waste mgmt -- roman aqueductsNow: Called upon to help meet “the need to belong”The requires that Gov't is not only talking TO citizen communities, or Online communities or Open Gov communities, or Open Data hacker communities ---It needs to evolve to become PART of these communities & foster these communities
- Organic crowdsourcingExtends to gov20City of nanaimo, opendatabc, nanaimo IT workers - part of Relying on citizen communities requires knowing how to:Empowering the culture of these communities (foster communities)Hosting hackathons, F&B and venue --Socially – specific thingsSense – making
- Working with Communities to “help them help you”:Like the:WhereDidItGo project by OpenDataBC that helps to visualize how BC’s taxes are being spent, orWaterly – knows about watering restrictions & weather / rainfall information – helps make informed decisions about watering your lawnOpenHamilton project to visualize the Map of 2011 Federal Election results in Hamilton East Stoney Creek. (Color-coded by victor of polls)
- Fostering use & applications on top of the platformsTapping into App EcosystemFostering citizen Ready appsFostering Connected experience for citizensBe the foundation -- App store / marketplaceOther services that can use Gov't data: standards, APIs allow this to be seamless
- First – let’s talk about Open Gov as a movement – it’s WW and it’s…
- and our own OpenHalton-led project WardRep.ca - in partnership with OpenHamilton, OpenGuelph, OpenDataLondonIt mashes up Council & City Ward informationand shows you this for an address in Guelph, London, Hamilton & some parts of HaltonThis can be an “application asset” for any city that has wards or just wants to provide an easier way to identify / share info on councilors
- Together,APIs and Open Standards have the potential to enable the 2-way data exchangewith processes to both expose the open data feeds, andWorkflows to capture the feedback/meta-data/changes back from citizens Creating RICH ecosystem of citizen-ready applications which can be both COMMUNITY- BUILT & GOVERNMENT-BUILT (or a MIX)
- Community of Citizens – who are driving “content” & Crowdsourcing that infoCollaboration – between Gov’t & Community, made possible by processes and workflows to Capture Knowledge that was Crowdsourced --Connected Experience – technology & systems powered by open standards & APIs (like Open 311) that brought all of the parties, content, bits & pieces in this exchange together
