The one day summit will address the many hot-button issues in the ?open government? discussion, including the meaning of ?open government? in the digital age, operationalizing digital openness, and archival implications of digital records. A report published by CIO/OFT in May 2008 ? "A Strategy for Openness: Enhancing E-Records Access in New York State" ? recommended that the state identify open formats as a technology feature specifically desired by the state and integrate the acquisition of this feature of openness into the state's technology planning and procurement processes. More information concerning how to register to attend the Summit will be available shortly. http://www.cio.ny.gov/assets/documents/cordially_invites_you.pdf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Education can help, but you need to build on a base of knowledge: 1) What is a standard? 2) What are examples of standards? 3) Why are standards important? 4) What are open standards? 5) What are some examples of open standards? 6) Why are open standards important? 7) What are open document standards, etc? If you jump directly to the last point, many people will be confused. Of course, one would hope that everyone would be trained sufficiently to perform their jobs in accordance with all applicable regulations... -Rob
