“Open Gov the Movie” – from Delib from Delib on Vimeo.
We’re launching the documentary – today – on the year anniversary of President Obama issuing the Open Government memorandum, giving an insight into the thinking behind the Open Gov memo and the subsequent changes in the way US government operates from key insiders and commentators.
The 14 minute film is based around a series of interviews with key players involved in the Open Government initiative:
- Beth Noveck - Head of the White House Open Government programme
- Tim O’Reilly – Web2.0 commentator
- Dustin Haisler – CIO at Manor, Texas
- Lena Trudeau - Head of Collaboration at the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA)
- Jeffrey Levy – Head of digital communications at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Jake Brewer – Sunlight Foundation
- Allan Holmes – Editor, NextGov.com
- Steve Lunceford – founder of GovTwit
As part of shooting the full documentary we’ve compiled about 4 hours of interviews, so you can also view these individual interviews about Open Government too. Enjoy!

Some great tips and takeaways. Nice touch with the cab driver at the end too – do people really know what the hell open gov is? probably dont need to, just need to get what they need from government when they need it.
Cheers

Hey Fergus! Glad you liked the movie. We were wondering whether to do an Australian version, as there must be a lot of activity buzzing around after the Government 2.0 Taskforce Report. What do you think?!
G’day Michaela, go for it! Better make sure you drop into Adelaide to see the Consultation Finder in action! A good blog to keep up with Australian social media / web 2.0 / gov 2 adventures is Craig Thomler’s http://egovau.blogspot.com/
