A Tale of two Open Government un-unconferences

,----[ Quote ]
| It came outta the blue this conference. The 
| topic is Open Government. There was another 
| Open Government un-conference in Wellington 
| last year.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Microsoft sponsored the first. This one they 
| pretty much completely hosted. They was 
| enough reason for many to stay away -- and 
| coupled with the suprise announcement and 
| lack of involvement in any open government 
| initiatives in NZ so far, those who pointedly 
| didn't attend make a good point. I see this 
| as undoubtedly microsoft trying to wedge 
| their brand in with something successful. The 
| question is will they really be able to take 
| this movement they have tried to block so 
| much in the past, and magically be able to 
| repaint it as something they're all about? 
| They seem to be on the start of a mission to 
| do just that.
