Invitation: Open by Default: Palo Alto W3C Webinar, 2/13@12pm ET (Feb 13 12:00 PM EST)

__________________

The W3C Data on the Web Best Practices WG is organizing a series of Open
Data Webinars with City CIO's from around the world to collect first hand
use case examples of Open Data Opportunities, Challenges and Requirements -
what's worked, what needs work, and what lessons have been learned that we
can harvest as part of our open standards Best Practices work.

These calls are open to the public and all content is contributed as Open
Data under a Royalty Free license.

Our first call will be on February 13th at 9am PT, 12pm ET, and our speaker
is Jonathan Reichental, CIO of the City of Palo Alto in California.  Palo
Alto is a beautiful city of about 100,000 inhabitants in the middle of
Silicon Valley.  It is home to Stanford University and it has a diverse IT
savvy population.  Last Week, Palo Alto began a new policy initiative
called "Open by Default" whereby the City seeks to be a model for Open
Government and Transparency by publishing Open Data by default for all of
it's public activities.

Jonathan will talk about the goals of the Open by Default program, the
cultural, technical, and political challenges the city faces implementing
it and what we can all learn from their experience.

The call will be recorded, with Q&A, and comments will be documented by the
Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group.
