Dear all,
Tim G. Davies and I have just released the rolling issue of the Special
Issue on Open Government Data of the Journal of Community Informatics. This
is ahead of the OGP in Brasilia, where our very own Gautam John is speaking
to international audiences about transparency in governance.
I strongly urge you to look at some of the contributions in this issue,
especially Jo Bates’ paper on “This is what modern deregulation looks
like.” It is an interesting analysis of the OGD movement in the UK. Rollie
Cole’s point of view on the state of OGD in government departments is
another interesting contribution.
Regards,
Zainab

Readers:
The Journal of Community Informatics has just published its latest issue at
http://ci-journal.net/index.php/ciej. We invite you to review the Table of
Contents here and then visit our web site to review articles and items of
interest.
This special issue edited by Tim Davies and Zainab Bawa is being offered as
a constructive contribution to the developing debates and practices of Open
Government Data - as global infrastructures, technical architectures, and
grassroots movements co-evolve. It is published as a rolling issue, with an
initial set of papers made available in April 2012, and a further set of
papers (currently going through the review process), and field notes
(responding to emerging themes) to be published later in the year. Our hope
is that this provides a way to combine the editorial and review processes of
putting together a journal issue, with a rapidly emerging and evolving
field, where developments far outpace the speed of conventional scholarly
publishing.
Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
Michael Gurstein, Ph.D.
