This roadshow should be interesting for anyone in the "Open" business.

You might want to get the background from the Gov 2.0 issues paper at:
http://gov2.net.au/blog/2009/07/18/help-us-finalise-our-issues-paper/

Also of note, I'm hoping to get Senator Kate Lundy to talk about Gov 2.0
at the FOSS4G conference. http://2009.foss4g.org
