2 BIG days to push forward open government in New Zealand

What does a truly open society look like? What happens when we apply the principles of open source technology to government, data and democracy?

The upcoming OS//OS conference will be a huge 2 days of inspiring brain food, practical workshops and chances to connect over coffee with a passionate community of people interested in what the world looks like when it is a more open place.

If you’re working with government policy or data and keen to understand how open source principles can change the game - then OS//OS is your opportunity to dive deep.

This won’t be your average conference…

Learn from the best.
Github have been working with the White House to help drive their open government processes - hear about what they've learned from Ben Balter, head of open government.
