Date:*  Saturday March 6, 2010

> Join community leaders, academics, students, technology enthusiasts, public
> servants and elected officials to consider the possibilities and advance the
> role of open information in Edmonton and the surrounding region.
>
> This workshop will build on the good work done at the City’s Open Data
> Workshop in November 2009. The consultation and feedback received at that
> event led to the City’s introduction of an Open Data Catalogue<http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/open-data-catalogue.aspx> in
> January 2010.
>
> Now, we want to hear how you and others think available data can be used in
> our city, province and country. The workshop will explore how technology
> might facilitate the principles of open government, increased transparency,
> collaboration between public sector bodies and residents, and participatory
> democracy.
>
> Whether you have a great idea for an application, want to request a
> specific data set, or just want to learn what Gov 2.0 is, this workshop is
> for you.
> For more information about this event, please visit the Open Data<http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/open-data.aspx>section on
