[CivicAccess-discuss] The Great Gov 2.0 Cultural Divide

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

i thought this to be a useful critical reminder!
The Great Gov 2.0 Cultural
Divide<http://govfresh.com/2009/09/the-great-gov-2-0-cultural-divide/>Silicon
Valley needs to understand tech celebrity is no different than Hollywood on
Capitol Hill. Everyone’s star-struck, but there’s always another celebrity
or foreign dignitary coming around the corner. Washington’s power dynamics
aren’t built around valuations, acquisitions or innovation. They’re built on
adjudication, legislation and donations, all of which are part of a long,
deliberative process. Let go of the ‘open data, open source’ movement will
solve all of democracy’s problems mentality, because it won’t. Ingratiate
yourself to the public servants, and not just to the newborn CIO/CTO rock
stars.
