  • You can build it but they won’t come. All successful open source projects build communities of supportive engaged developers who identify with the project and keep it productive and useful.
  • Ongoing maintenance and distribution of the data hasn’t been budgeted for almost all the data sets we have today. This attitude has to change, and new projects give us the chance to get it right, but most existing datasets are unfunded for maintenance and release.
  • there are at least five different types of Open Data groupie: low-polling governments who want to see a PR win from opening their data, transparency advocates who want a more efficient and honest government, citizen advocates who want services and information to make their lives better, open advocates who believe that governments act for the people therefore government data should be available for free to the people, and wonks who are hoping that releasing datasets of public toilets will deliver the same economic benefits to the country as did opening the TIGER geo/census dataset.

  • this has been a civic adventure driven by pure patriotic adrenaline
  • passionate, patriotic group of people I’m proud to now call friends
  • Over the past few months, I’ve tried to work on establishing a sustainable business model, but the challenge around building an immediate solid foundation has turned into a case of ‘too little, too late.’
  • Johann Höchtl on 19 Nov 10
     
    GovFresh went awry and failed to establish a business model. Interessante Aussagen: passionate, patriotic aber kein Business Modell. Wo ist der Unterschied zu eg. Open Source? * Open Source "erzeugt" ein Produkt, das in der digitalen Welt "gehandelt" werden kann, eine digitale Plattform ohne digitale Produkte mit EndanwenderInnennutzen hat diese Eigenschaft nicht * Open Source communities sind erfolgreich, wenn sie Probleme in sehr kleine Einheiten brechen können. Damit steht potentiell vielen peers "Mitmachen" offen. Open Data erfordert ein skill level, das von nicht-Technikern schwer aufzubringen sein wird, macht damit jene, die sich nicht beteiligen und "credit" geben, zu Trittbrettfahrern

  • The simple summary is that geo2gov is a spatial search engine. The longer version is that geo2gov takes a location in a variety of different formats (address, postcode, suburb, place name, ip address, etc) and converts them to a GPS location, then drills that point through half a dozen spatial layers to identify federal, state, local and ward level locations, as well as your statistical location within the most recent census.

    American officials in recent days have warned repeatedly that the release of documents by WikiLeaks could put people's lives in danger. But despite similar warnings before the previous two releases of classified U.S. intelligence reports by the website, U.S. officials concede that they have no evidence to date that the documents led to anyone's death.

  • Der Ansatz dieses „Open Government“ überträgt die Ideen des auf Offenheit, Beteiligung und Rekombination ausgelegten Web 2.0 in die Umgebung regierungsgebundener Dienstleistungen. Und auch hier geht es um eine Verschiebung von Machtstrukturen,
  • „Aus einer Perspektive der Regierungsinstitutionen zielen Fragen zur gemeinsamen Entwicklung von Services und Regulierungsfragen auf (1) die Machtverschiebung in Richtung der Nutzer sowie (2) das Verhältnis zwischen Nutzern und externen Organisationen, die als Vermittler für andere auftreten.“
  • Triebfeder für Projekte mit offenen Daten ist die Idee der Co-Creation neuer Inhalte im Rahmen flexibler, datengestützter Kooperationen zwischen Bürgern und öffentlichen Akteuren
