Rhiza will be in DC from today, March 25, through Saturday, March 28 to visit our partners in the capital and to attend Government 2.0 Camp, an “unconference about using social media tools and Web 2.0 technologies to create a more effective, efficient and collaborative U.S. government on all levels (local, state, and federal).” We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation began at last month’s Transparency Camp.

On February 28, 2009, Rhiza Labs CTO Michael Higgins and CEO Josh Knauer presented at Transparency Camp ’09 on creating public information systems that support truly public decision-making. Josh focused on community-level transparency efforts; Mike focused on incorporating transparency into the design process. View Mike’s presentation, and notes from Josh’s, below: Read more »

This weekend, the Rhiza team will be joining “a trans-partisan tribe of open government advocates from all walks” at Transparency Camp, an un-conference at George Washington University for sharing “knowledge on how to use new technologies to make our government transparent and meaningfully accessible to the public.”

We’re hoping to raise awareness of how sharing public data in the Information Commons promotes a positive feedback loop between government transparency, accountability, efficiency, and permanence. We’re also hoping to learn more about other folks’ efforts to promote government transparency with new technology.

Can’t make it yourself„ Check Josh and Andrew out on Twitter for live updates over the weekend, and read more about Rhiza’s open government solutions.
