These are panels of subject matter experts with named like the Defense Science Board who conduct studies that the government doesn&#8217;t have time to perform, and provide [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When did government become a business? I keep hearing government called a business, and business terms like &#8220;efficiency&#8221; creeps into the lexicon here among progressive Washington folk.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m attending a Government 2.0 unconference called Open Government: Pages From the Playbook at the MLK library in DC. If you&#8217;re not here, you&#8217;re missing out. Attendees are hearing from govies and contractors about how they are adopting the Administration&#8217;s directive on open government. I hear and read a lot in this area, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, I&#8217;ve been thinking about the topic of Government 2.0 a lot lately.
