    thanks Stephen. If there’s little other interest I’d be happy to do this informally. But will pitch it as a session and see what happens!

    possible Friday discussion: I’d like to attend a session on community management. Looking at Dave Mckenna’s blog post on Social Bureaucracy http://localopolis.blogspot.com/2011/10/27-social-bureaucracy.html and especially how to get better results from fewer specialist staff, a community management approach seems to fit the bill. I know that some expert CMs attend GovCamp and this would be a good opportunity for me to learn from the best!

    I have 2 aims. On the Friday I want to learn as much as I can about community management from all the pros. And on Saturday I want to co-create a reference solution architecture for #localgov. Ambitious?

    I don’t know if anything I do would fit neatly into one of those themes. Is GovCamp just about open government or is it about better government?

    If running a session in the morning to decide topics doesn’t scale, how about doing it online and voting beforehand?

    I think that there are two competing pressures. IT itself is going to be squeezed; and at the same time it will be expected to provide the platforms (BPM, collaboration mainly) that can be used by the rest of their organisations to streamline processes.

    In some organisations (mine) IT is also held in barely concealed contempt: there will be pressure to outsource (or cloudsource) large chunks of it.

    In reply to - Dave Briggs posted an update in the group Future of IT: Quite a few people signed up to this group now – what do you guys think? What will be the role of IT in government organisations as we move forward into a time of budget cuts and other pressures? · View
