Mapping the Territory - Who's Working on Open Government in NYC?

“ People were hopeful, passionate, knowledgeable, and cooperative. Very promising. ”

“ One of the most promising meetups I've ever been to. I think I'm going to blog about it right now. ”

“ The meeting was fascinating because of all the meetings I've been to, participants here had the most experience with facilitating meetings -- we've participated in literally tens of thousands of meetings this size, and probably led tens of thousands of meetings of any size --, while this meeting purposely had one of the least formal meeting structures. So it was fascinating to see how we moved forward, like a collaborative game of master-level chess. I have enormous respect for so many of the people who participated, met some fantastic people, and had fun. Personally I'd love for us to start a needs list, to share resources on, and benefit from, projects we're already working on. I'm curious to see where we go. ”

“ Matt is a great organiser and an even more accomplished facilitators. ”
