4:00pm – 6:00pm: Moderated Discussion – Goals for an Open New York in 2010
We’re putting government geeks and citizen geeks together with moderator Noel Hidalgo to get down to the nuts and bolts of making New York more open in 2010. We’ll identify specific obstacles to openness, and realistic means of overcoming them together.
The Livstream channel and #OpenNY hashtag Twitter feed will be projected in the event space, and we’ll do our best to add your comments and questions into the discussion.
