WriteToThem - 0 views

  • Evolving from the historic FaxYourMP (essentially the first democratic web tool in the UK) WriteToThem can still claim a unique status, being the first website to allow a user to write to any of the politicians in their country, not just the famous ones.
  • WriteToThem has helped citizens send over 400,000 messages since it was launched in 2005, and statistics show that roughly half of the people using it have never written to a politician before.

Pour un Mysociety.org en France ! via @albanmartin - 0 views

  • Mysociety, c’est quoi ?


    C’est la principale initiative d’une association anglaise a but non lucratif, fondée en 2003 et regroupant une communauté de volontaires et de développeurs open-source rémunérés.


    Cette dernière est à l’origine du développement de sites que P. Rosanvallon qualifierait de « contre-démocratique »: par exemple Theyworkforyou pour découvrir ce que font les députés anglais (historique des prises de position, archives des textes et speech) ou WritetoThem pour contacter n’importe quel député à partir de son code postal (plus de 400 000 messages déjà envoyés à ce jour via la plateforme). Mysociety a également développé le site officiel de G. Brown de pétition citoyenne. A noter qu’en France, le collectif « regards citoyens »  en France a lancé récemment le site nosdeputés.fr permettant, comme theyworkforyou, de s’intéresser à l’activité des députés à l’assemblée nationale.

  • Pourquoi c’est important et comment s’impliquer ?


    Les responsables de l’initiative mysociety.org sont joignables via leurs coordonnées sur le site web (http://www.mysociety.org/about/contact/), et se disent prêt à étudier toute opportunité de collaboration, notamment à l’international (traduction, adaptation, support au développement). Pledgebank par exemple est conçu dès l’origine comme un site international, reposant sur le mode « si je trouve 10 personnes comme moi prêtes à faire ça alors je le fais)

  • se déroulera le premier Open Government Data Camp français à « La Cantine » à Paris samedi 12 décembre 2009.

Le ministère de la Culture oublie de renouveler Jaimelesartistes.fr #hadopi (via ... - 0 views

  • le site intitulé j'aime les artistes pas les majors, affiche quantité de liens vers les pages de la Quadrature du Net, Canard PC, une de nos actus sur un best of des casseroles de Christine Albanel, des articles de Maitre Eolas, Numérama, La Bataille Hadopi, etc.
  • Cette gestion du domaine va provoquer sans doute des remous : le site officiel défendu par Christine Albanel avait été facturé au ministère de la Culture, et donc aux contribuables, entre 50 000 et 85 000 euros selon les estimations que nous avait fait la Rue de Valois (hors taxes)
  • L'internaute derrrière ce site nous a avoué qu'il filtrait, en guise de clin d'oeil tout accès "d'une ip appartenant au ministère de la culture"  (technique). "Ces IP sont redirigées vers  vers http://www.jaimelesartistes.info/block.php en m'envoyant un mail au passage". Le premier mail est tombé peu après cette actualité, preuve qu'une IP appartenant à proxy-valois.culture.fr s'est à nouveau préoccupé de Jaimelesartistes.fr.

10 principles for a Public Administration 2.0 (via @fondapol) - 0 views

  • A decalogue like a work in progress, to promote the idea and the principles of a new Public Administration more able to act and operate in the era of the Nets. This is the “Manifesto Amministrare 2.0”
  • The Venetian event permitted to collect a lot of ideas and suggestions useful to the writing of the document. First of all, anyway, it was very important to understand that many italian Administrations, and inside them politicians, managers and civil servants, are strongly convinced that the Public Administration need to embrace, at least partially, that “web 2.0 philosophy” who is changing the web and, more important, the life of organizations, enterprises and millions of people
    • The role of politics

      Politicians must be able to take responsibility of their choices.
    • The organizational dimension

      Public Administrations must change their organization and their procedures, pursuing a new idea of relationship with citizens and abandoning the self-approach.
    • The Net as a right

      The access to the Net, specially to broadband, must be easy and cheap everywhere.
    • Beyond the cultural divide

      Citizens must be helped to develop a new digital culture.
    • The involvement of citizens

      There’s no Public Administration 2.0 without a strong intervention in favour of participation.
    • The multi-channel approach as opportunity

      Service are really tailored if there’s attention to the channels more appropriate for the different users’ target.
    • Disintermediation to better act

      To promote a Public Administration no more “one way” and finally “2.0” is important to foster a bigger disintermediation between institutions and citizens.
    • Re-start form the semantics of public contents

      The semantics presentation of public information, services and contents must be conceived with the final users and open to folksonomies.
    • Software as enabling factor

      Software used in public sector must be open and re-usable by other administrations.
    • Foster the development of active communities

      User groups and social networks must be considered as a fundamental stimulus to design public web services, starting from their desires and indications.
