Social Media Governance |
Would like to host a rountable discussion on Social Media Governance Process Integration for Agencies - i.e., the decisions, controls, policies and workflows necessary to enable agency participation in "open source" social media. Answer the question: "What IT and data governance processes and mechanisms should be considered or enabled for agencies to publish content via open source social media channels?" |

Government 2.0: The Rise of NOAA's Goverati |
This ongoing power lunch/webinar series highlights the best and brightest in government 2.0. Our latest installment -- Government 2.0: The Rise of NOAA's Goverati -- will be presented LIVE at Gov 2.0 Camp on March 27th at 1PM.
The featured NOAA presenters are Kyle Carothers, and Eric Hackathorn, Program Manager/New Media Specialist
Kyle Carothers has been a team member of NOAA’s, Office of Ocean Exploration & Research web team for six years. Specifically, he manages development and content for the nationally recognized Ocean Explorer website. He works directly with at-sea or on-shore content providers to collect and provide background material and daily logs from numerous signature expeditions throughout the year. Kyle is also responsible for producing NOAA’s first YouTube channel and its most successful Podcast on iTunes.
Eric Hackathorn started with his first computer before he learned to ride a bicycle. He started working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Boulder, Colorado after graduating from high school. Eric continues his work at NOAA today as a program manager and often takes a back seat to his much handsomer counterpart Hackshaven Harford. Hackshaven is Eric’s avatar (a virtual representation of himself) and exists only in the virtual world known as Second Life. Together they have been busy designing a public 3-D space to highlight the research NOAA performs.

Drupal: Content Management Practice and writing for the web |
This course will be hands-on.
This course is intended to provide Government content managers and writers with a practice Drupal site. We will discuss the ability of the site to be customized to meet the needs of our organizations and attendees will get to play with a Drupal site in real time.
This is also a writing course, not for coders. We will discuss best practices for web writing and task orientation with the concept of how to utilize open source to make it work.

Linking Web 2.0 to Mission Objectives |
Web 2.0 is being embraced at the nodes of government. Blogs, wikis, Facebook pages, and YouTube channels are springing us, serving mostly tactical needs. How do you persuade government agencies to embrace Web 2.0 as a way of doing business, to make it central to how they communicate with citizens and internally?
Adapted from a presentation given to the senior leadership of a cabinet-level agency, this discussion will explore what social media is not, and how to persuade decision makers to invest in Web 2.0.

In the Trenches: Real-Life Stories on Implementing Web 2.0 and Building Community |
If you build it, they will NOT come. The technology is the easy part - the art is in the building and engaging community.
How do you build a community around government topics that catches life and doesn't end up in the dead-pool?
I can tell my experiences from GovLoop, OMB Max but would love to hear tips from others (panelists, crowd, etc)

Community Collaboration Discussion |
Having recently built a zip code based emergency social network, I would like to discuss the challenges that all of the potential stakeholders see in playing together in an interactive sandbox.
How can we all share the same space to communicate electronically with emergency response, government, disaster relief, law enforcement et al along with citizens, businesses and others who are affected by major events?
Let's talk about what we all know or have experienced and find solutions.

The new administration's expectations vs. the needs of IT security |
The President has called for openness, transparency, collaboration, which web 2.0 and new media technolgies can help enable. Agencies are having to deal with IT security requirements. We will lead a discussion about Gov 2.0 from both perspectives. |

Keeping Accessibility in Mind |
With all of these new "web 2.0" tools available to us, it's sometimes easy to forget that we need to maintain a level of accessibility on the Web. Section 508 requires that we meet certain requirements for accessibility but sites like Facebook don't have these restrictions
Let's talk about what tools are out there that we're using, how easy it is to make them accessible, and whether or not we should even try to make them accessible.

Effective public servant usage of social media |
Forget about enterprise level social media initiatives, what about the thousands of public servants who can use social media to perform research, collaborate with colleagues, and engage constituents. Leilani Martinez from GobiernoUSA.gov, Sheila Campbell from the Federal Web Managers Council, and EPA's Jeffrey Levy will discuss the ways public servants can use social media to do their jobs more effectively. |

Creating a Data Centered Government by visualizing the connection between policy and effort. |
It seems there is a disconnect between policy at high levels and how that affects procedures in agencies and the efforts it requires especially when it comes to creating new initiatives. By revealing hidden connections between policy, procedures and efforts we find best practices as well as hidden barriers to creating an innovative government. |

The Intelligence Community and Web 2.0 |
In 2005, the Intelligence Community began fielding a loosely coupled suite of web 2.0 services. That suite is known as the Intelink suite of tools. It includes: Intellipedia - the governments premier wiki, iVideo - our version of YouTube, Gallery – our version of Flickr, Inteldocs – our file sharing website, Blogs – a WordPressMU powered blog system, tag|Connect – our version of del.icio.us, a Jabber based instant messenger system, and a web based email system.
You will receive an overview of these services, and discover the efforts involved and challenges we faced in the development and deployment of this suite. |

Open Source social media tools |
Putting public data and public presence into "the cloud" or onto commercial sites has various hazards for government use: reliability, auditability, backups, presumed endorsement, dependence on external company's policies and stability. This talk will discuss Open Source alternatives to existing Web 2.0 sites that can be installed on government servers and monitored and managed by government staff. WordPress, Laconica, Elgg, Pligg |
