In addition to generating some high quality entries for MashupAustralia, GovHack also gave developers the opportunity to interact with some of the public servants who manage the datasets, and it was clear that there was much that these two communities can learn from each other. In total over 82 entries were submitted for MashupAustralia, which is fantastic in a five-week timeframe and well on par with other mashup contests globally. 7.4.3 Creative Commons The taskforce licensed its blog and the comments it elicited, its issues paper, draft and final reports under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Australia (CC BY) licenses allowing free distribution, reuse and transformation of our work. 7.5 Other forms of public consultation   A total of eight open public forums were held around Australia in August and September 2009. The Open Forums were attended by over 250 people, with each event attended by the taskforce Chair and at least one other Taskforce member. In conjunction with the Open Forum events, the taskforce ran a series of roundtable events in each capital city (with two held in Canberra). At each roundtable event individuals from the public and private sectors were invited to meet with the taskforce Chair and other Taskforce members to share their views on the issues and challenges of Government 2.0. Additionally the taskforce invited other, more traditional submissions to the taskforce through letters from the taskforce Chair to senior bureaucrats, government committees and Ministers across Australian governments. 7.5.1 International Reference Group The taskforce drew on the expertise of Web 2.0 practitioners who have successfully undertaken similar work internationally by inviting key people to participate in an International Reference Group (IRG). IRG members were drawn from a range of sectors including government — from CIOs to archivists, academia, private and not-for-profit sectors as well as bloggers and people making innovative use of Web 2.0 platforms, coming from the UK, Europe, Canada, Singapore, the US and New Zealand. A list of the IRG members is available online. 311 7.5.2 Government 2.0 seed projects The terms of reference stated that the taskforce should work with the public, private, cultural and not-for-profit sectors to fund and develop seed projects that demonstrate the potential of proactive information disclosure and digital engagement for government. 311 http://gov2.net.au/blog/2009/10/23/inquiries-2-0-part-3-0/#irg. 84 Engage: <strong>Getting</strong> on with Government 2.0 | report of the government 2.0 taskforce
The taskforce funded 17 projects and a number of contests using a project fund of $2.45 million which was established in partnership with Microsoft. 312 Project proposals were released for quote on the taskforce blog in three rounds of submissions, and proposals put forward included projects to research and report on particular elements of the Government 2.0 agenda. Consultants selected by the taskforce to undertake the projects were funded to look at issues ranging from enhancing the discoverability and accessibility of government information to exploring the use of social media for emergency management. A list of these projects is available at Appendix B. 7.5.3 Government 2.0 contests 7.5.3.1 Structured brainstorming The first challenge that the taskforce set was to invite the community to suggest ideas and projects for the taskforce with the following question in mind, ‘how can the Government 2.0 Taskforce best meet its terms of reference’ The taskforce offered a cash prize of $1,000 and the opportunity to put forward a project proposal based on the best brainstorming ideas. In response a total of 42 ideas were received, from which the taskforce selected two winning ideas, both of which were nominated by Brad Peterson — Government Gazettes in XML 313 and Whole of government persistent URL resolver service. 314   7.5.3.2 Nominate a Government 2.0 innovator The taskforce then asked the community to nominate recent examples of excellence in Government 2.0 from government agencies and individuals in Australia. After considering 24 nominations from all levels and sectors of government, the taskforce recognised Government 2.0 champions in three different categories: 315 ●● ●● ●● Large agency: ABC Pool Small agency: Mosman Municipal Council Individual: Craig Thomler The Government 2.0 champions will be invited to attend the eGovernment Forum and eGovernment awards 316 dinner at CeBIT in 2010. 7.5.3.3 Suggest a dataset The community was asked to suggest datasets that could be made available under the open access to PSI principle for the MashupAustralia contest. 317 A total of 62 suggestions relating to government datasets were received, including proposals to improve access to government mapping applications, develop APIs for programmatic access to public datasets, release of historical and scientific image libraries, as well as local government registers. 312 The fund was provided by Microsoft and was made available to the taskforce for Government 2.0 projects and contests. Microsoft did not have a role in deciding which projects were funded but did manage the fund under the direction of the taskforce Chair. 313 http://gov2taskforce.ideascale.com/a/dtd/16792-5361. 314 http://gov2taskforce.ideascale.com/a/dtd/15293-5361. 315 http://gov2taskforce.ideascale.com/a/dtd/14545-5361. 316 http://www.finance.gov.au/e-government/better-practice-and-collaboration/e-government-awards.html or http://tinyurl.com/yh2pqo3. 317 http://mashupaustralia.org/open-access-to-psi/.
