There is an unprecedented opportunity right now for the people to improve government from the outside in, working together with cooperative government officials. The open government group is a clearinghouse for new tools and strategies in this space. We'll share ideas and resources, map the territory, build coalitions, support each others' work, and participate in real initiatives.
Following up on any topics discussed at the meetup is encouraged at the mailing-list located here:

Your Open Gov NYC organizer is kicking things off by making some resolutions.
