Gov 2.0 LA - encouraging citizens to become 'shareholders'

We talk with Alan Silberberg of Silberberg Innovations about GovCamps and other unconference format events including the third annual Gov 2.0 LA gathering organised by Alan in association with Pepperdine University in Malibu.  We look at how open-forum unconferences can impact the day-to-day work of participants as well as exploring current trends in gov 2.0 in Los Angeles and across the United States, asking if “citizen 2.0” has yet matured.  Among other topics, Alan comments on the impact of the conventional contracting process on connected and open government.
