Aagenda adjustments

Debrief of recent Kevin/TimBL meeting
kevin: met with TimBL at MIT, talked about challenges
... eGov activity being long term, challenges of our first year
... talked about optimism around Obama
... issues paper important for people like new administration in the
US
... to understand importance of open standards, etc.
... Obama also talking about US being recognized as the lead in
initiatives
... we need to review charter by May
... setup agenda for next 1-2 years
... overall a good conversation
... Tim to give keynote at TED event, gave him some ideas
... also to Karen Myers, speech to focus on openness and
transparency
... start on capitalizing on opportunities with new US Admin.
... also had lunch with KM, talked about our focus on high level
issues
... the need of coordination with other Groups at W3C
... the policy vs. technology differences
... the upcoming AC Meeting, much strategic discussion expected
... development vs. deployment, need to get a better and bigger
picture
... talked to TimBL about meeting at TWB back in November 2008
... there was discussion about technological issues in developing
countries
... financial data, government services
... Tim thinks it was a great brainstorming session, but not many
conclusions yet
... TWB championing eGov architecture in dev. countries??
... need to work with legacy systems, but also long-term planning
and new infrastructure in place
[connection between open government and open standards]
john: interesting how we can make SW work for Gov
... there are some practical things that are easy to do and can be
done today
... those would be the building blocks for future apps
owen: any specific actions came out of the meeting?
kevin: 1)publish our document, maybe in pieces??, 2)re-charter,
3)asked Tim, others to support our work, 4)funding, emphasized the
importance of our work
... 5)need to outreach in conferences
owen: good, I will think about it and things we could do to support
those
Confirmed: 2nd F2F @ AIA (12-13 March 2009)
kevin: confirmed meeting at AIA, board room can host up to 65??
... calls are good, but some F2F could also help us focus better
... on where we are, what we should do, how to move forward
... expect it will help energize people
... also taking advantage of new US Admin.
rachel: I'm disappointed because of not getting more people on calls
... understand all very busy, but this is an important and huge
topic
kevin: agree
owen: I presume people are not in calls because they have more
urgent and important things to do
... we should try to reflect the issues they are trying to solve in
the paper
... I think it's because people is busy, not because they are not
interested
Editor's draft
[kevin on document authorship]
[jose on authorship, message is coming, sorry for the delay]
john: besides draft, how can we encourage people to attend?
... we organized a barcamp recently and 150+ people showed up
... seats were gone in just 24 hours??
<ocr> hi all
[jose on lowering barriers as much as possible]
<ocr> sorry for being late - coming from the never ending meeting :(
kevin: yes, room holds 65
... if we could have a very good speaker, that could also help
owen: any idea on who?
kevin: not yet, maybe someone from the Obama administration
... tried to get one from the campaign to speak at AIA but everybody
too busy right now
owen: obviously the head of technology of his transition Team, but
probably a long shot
kevin: I agree
rachel: let me think about it
owen: I'll give it some thought, too
kevin: reaching out to FIRM, so maybe they would like to
participate, too
... thanks Owen for putting us in touch, btw
owen: ok
john: I don't think it would be difficult to get a bunch of people
... many people interested in discussing pressing issues
... if we can have an easy way for people to figure out how to
participate
... we may use some tools
... will use my Twitter
