GovCampACT

Pia Waugh & Craig Thomler have started this page for feedback on the GovCampACT schedule and themes.We are looking at themes that will bring together some of the interesting and active communities working in the government space in Canberra, to share, learn & innovate.

We anticipate having the planning for the event finalised by mid March.

Early registration is open at http://govcampcanberramay2012.eventbrite.com.au/ if you are super keen :)

=Draft Themes= We've discovered some interesting overlaps in the design and change communities in Canberra with the Gov 2.0 community, and thought it might be interested to get people together. We also thought it might be fun to run an ARDevCamp simultaneously for people doing AR work, but also to introduce AR to more people working in government.
 * Open Data & Visualisation stream
 * Public Engagement stream
 * Policy and Service Design stream
 * Augmented Reality stream (ARDevCamp)
 * Change stream (ChangeCamp?)
