GovCamp
In my notes from WWW2010 I wrote that the issue of making government data open and available was one of the key themes for the conference. The UK and US Governments are leading the way here, with the data.gov.uk and data.gov efforts respectively.
DavePress writes about GovCamp, a BarCamp-style concept of getting those interested in government data involved in the process. He’s event provided a handy 10 point plan for how to run such an event.
Having attended WordCamp Ireland earlier this year, I’m a big fan of the format, and believe that it could be the ticket for getting the debate started here.

Sounds like a good idea. Make sure to get the KildareStreet.com guys involved – winners of the Outvesting.org startup fund.
