The international open government/ open data movement has a lot of momentum, especially here in Chicago. We've all worked hard to get us where we are, and we're excited about what's to come.

This month we're inviting some great thinkers + doers to provide outside insight on our movement.

Ramsin Canon (http://ramsincanon.wordpress.com/about-ramsin/), political editor (http://www.gapersblock.com/mechanics/) at GapersBlock.com (http://gapersblock.com/mechanics) will provide perspective on the extent to which the movement benefits local communities.

Terry Pastika (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/terry-pastika/a/6b3/bb), Executive Director (http://www.citizenadvocacycenter.org/terry-pastika.html) of the Citizen Advocacy Center (http://www.citizenadvocacycenter.org/) will give a view of the current state of democracy in Illinois, with a focus on the Western and Far Western suburbs of Chicago.

Mike Stringer (http://www.linkedin.com/in/stringermichael), Managing Partner at Datascope Analytics and organizer of the Data Science Chicago meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/Data-Science-Chicago/), will talk about whether we're asking the questions most worth answering.

Join us on April 11 at OpenGovChicago, where we're always thinking of what's next.
