Meetup in Vancouver for Open government advocates

[Karen Fung]

Hi there,

(Apologies in advance if you are seeing this multiple times.)

For those of you in the Vancouver area, Open Gov West Vancouver's next meetup is set for next Friday, February 18th, 2011 at The Network Hub. If you can make it, please RSVP at the OGW Vancouver Eventbrite website!

Open Gov West Meetups are a great chance to meet other people interested in talking and working on projects about how to make improved collaboration between citizens and governments an everyday reality. Let's learn, share stories and dream big about what an open government might look like and what we want to do to get there! Highlights from the past couple months include the International Open Data Hackathon, and the Open Gov West BC Conference in November.

We are also interested in getting some feedback on what open government advocates would like to see at this or future meetups. If there's anything you are interested in learning about, people you want to hear from, wicked issues you're wondering how to surmount — do let us know and we'll do our absolutely best to incorporate it somehow into this or future meetups!

You can do that by...

• Contacting Vancouver meetup organizers [hidden email] or [hidden email] directly by e-mail.
• Sending a tweet on Twitter with the hashtag #ogwbc.
• Commenting on the Open Gov West website
• Or catching one of us at the meetup!

We hope we'll see you on February 18th or to hear from you soon!

Thanks,

Karen Fung
