It’s taken several months from inception to release, and it’s undergone a number of changes and additions since I last saw it, but a project acidlabs contributed to for AGIMO several months ago — The Government 2.0 Primer — has finally been released. And with an appropriately open license of CC-BY, no less!
It’s a piece of work that I’m particularly proud to have had a hand in, as I think it adds real value and substance to the corpus of Australian (and potentially international) Government 2.0 thinking. A great number of people, both here and overseas, helped acidlabs prepare our contribution to the Primer. Most particularly, I’d like to acknowledge case studies, head-checks and read-throughs from the following people:
- Reem Abdelaty, Local Government and Shires Association of New South Wales
- Nathanael Boehm, Department of Human Services
- Dom Campbell, FutureGov
- Madeleine Clifford, Department of Health and Ageing
- Allison Denny-Collins, Australian Customs and Border Protection Service
- Hilary Hartley, NIC USA
- Mark Harris, TRACS NZ
- Michael Honey, Icelab
- Allison Hornery, CivicTEC
- Kylie Johnson, (formerly) Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency
- Courtney Johnston, (formerly) National Library of New Zealand
- Justin Kerr-Stevens, UK Department of Health
- Sam Livingstone, (formerly) Grains Research and Development Corporation
- Geoff Mason, IP Australia
- Alex Roberts, Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research
- Jason Ryan, New Zealand State Services Commission
- Craig Thomler, Department of Health and Ageing
- Nathan Torkington, NZ Open Government Project
- John Wells, CivicTEC
AGIMO have okayed the public release of the report acidlabs prepared as our contribution to what has become the primer. Please feel free to download it and use it for yourself.
