Re: "Do you know of any groups" http://www.goslingcommunity.org/ We have been regularly meeting in Ottawa since 2002 on the theme of "Getting Open Source Logic INto Government". This is beyond the mere acquisition and use of Free/Libre and Open Source Software, but the opening of governance when the policies embedded in software are made open and transparent, and how government regulates software facilitates rather than creates barriers to being open and transparent.

Salut Pierre, Pourriez-vous envoyer l’invitation en question à open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca? Nous n’avons diffusé qu’un seul message hier (la consultation étant lancée la semaine dernière) et ce message était bilingue. Merci, Kent au nom de l'équipe

The first step to an open government is inclusion. It is time to get out of the Ottawa bubble and consult with the rest of Canada -where are the Eastern and Western events?

Submitted by open-ouvert on March 31, 2016 - 5:07 PM

Ariel, We completely agree with you. Consultations in locations across the country are being booked as I write this. Keep checking back here - we post consultation venues as they become final. Thanks so much for your comment! Karin - open-ouvert
