OpenGovDC, a one day conference looking at how open source tools can be used to advance open government, is happening in downtown DC on Tuesday, June 14. The event will focus on showing real life examples of successful open source implementations in government - many of which are from agencies like the White House, Federal Communications Commission, and Department of Education who use Drupal as a platform for their web properties.
Sessions will cover topics ranging from managing content and workflow across multiple websites and domains, to how to build and share interchangeable features between projects and agencies, to releasing open data. Drupal will be discussed throughout many of these sessions, and there will also be a hands on workshop on how to build a multi-site platform using Drupal distributions.
I thought this would be of interest to this group, especially those who work at a government agency or with government clients. You can find more information and a full schedule at OpenGovDC.com. Tickets are going fast, so if you'd like to attend I recommend signing up soon.
