September 9, 2014 | Open Government Data is creating huge opportunities for citizens everywhere. Silicon Halton is working with the Town of Oakville to engage our community, businesses, individuals, government, and the education sector to help shape the evolution of the Town of Oakville’s open data initiative. Join the Silicon Halton community for an intensive highly engaged round-table workshop with your peers. You’re in control. You can share and brainstorm on your challenges, your needs, and your ideas around citizen centric services and apps that require open data. Learn more here: http://bit.ly/shmeetup59

this evening….

• There are 10 tables – each focused on major areas
of interest to our participants this evening.
• Select a table to begin
• We’ve encouraged a mix of business / functional /
technical people at each table

5. Working Sessions
• There will be two 45 minute working sessions
• That means you can choose two different areas of
interest:
– one for working session 1, and
– a different one for working session 2
• Choose what works for you
• Demand
– if the demand is greater for one area of interest – we’ll
adjust the tables
– if the demand is less for one area of interest – we’ll adjust
the tables
– if a new area pops up with lots of interest – we’ll adjust the
tables

6. Guidance
• There are worksheets on every table
• They are there for guidance – not a prescription
• The questions on the worksheets are for:
– your knowledge, needs, and experience
– your opinions and beliefs
– there are no right or wrong answers
• There is also info on these worksheets that explains the Town
of Oakville’s planned IT Projects – so that you know what
might already be in the works
• There are table leads at every table to provide guidance /
coaching to help keep you moving
