The Long Now Foundation's monthly series
Seminars About Long-term Thinking
http://www.longnow.org/seminars/02010/mar/04/transparent-government/
Beth Noveck presents:
Transparent Government
President Obama's first executive action was the Open Government Memorandum calling for more transparent, participatory, and collaborative government. It is likely that one of the longest lasting effects of the current administration will be how much it changed the culture of Washington by opening government data and pioneering innovations in policymaking.
As the United States Deputy Chief Technology Officer and leader of the President's Open Government Initiative in the White House, Beth Noveck is in the forefront of the Federal government's implementation of these changes. On leave as law professor at New York Law School and a visiting professor of communication at Stanford University, she lectures on intellectual property, innovation and technology law. She is also the Founder of the State of Play conferences.
Noveck just released her latest book Wiki Government: How Technology Can Make Government Better, Democracy Stronger, and Citizens More Powerful.
The Long Now Foundation's monthly Seminars were started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking; to help nudge civilization toward our goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare.
Seminar hosted by Stewart Brand.

Here at The Bold Italic, we have noticed little pocket neighborhoods sprouting up throughout the city. In fact, we suspect each neighborhood boasts several distinct, smaller parts worthy of individual celebration.
So, we thoughtfully furrowed our collective brow and decided to once again just
make something new for the heck of it. Thus, we bring you: the microhood.
micro · hood - n. A piece of a neighborhood, perhaps only a block or two large, so glorious that it deserves its own name; i.e.: The Mission Mid-20s is a shining example of a microhood.
Which brings us to the bountiful space between 20th and 21st streets in the
Mission.
Come out and see what we mean! Raise a glass with us and check out Gravel &
Gold, Bianca Starr, Her Majesty's Secret Beekeeper and Mission: Comics + Art and
enjoy some special deals just for Bold Italic readers.
– Bianca Starr, a chic and highly curated vintage store, will be spinning nightclub-worthy beats, passing the prosecco and offering 20% off everything in the store except jewelry.
– Mission: Comics + Art, part comic book store and part art gallery, will be passing out beers from Firestone Brewing, playing host to graphic novelist Josh Ellingson, and giving a 20% discount on everything in the store. There’s rumor the Spotted Rooster will be there hawking their famous organic black beans and rice and Stack's Coop will be purveying some of their fine fried chicken sandwiches.
– Gravel & Gold, seller of things to wear, adorn, hear, read, furnish and love up, will be pouring beers from Firestone Brewery and offering 20% off their hand-picked vintage clothing selection.
– Her Majesty's Secret Beekeeper, the hub for all things around producing, enjoying and even drinking local honey, will be having honey and mead tastings throughout the evening and giving 10% off of their premium pots of honey.
Enter our $2 RAFFLE for a chance win some lovely prizes:
– A $50 gift certificate at Bianca Starr
– A Beekeeping Class at Her Majesty's Secret Beekeeper
– A graphic novel from Mission Comics: “Little Nemo in Slumberland: Many More Splendid Sundays” by Winsor McCay
– A photo book from Gravel & Gold: “Builders of the Pacific Coast" by Lloyd Kahn
