I'm on vacation this week and only on the web here and there, so my posts to DIYcity will be slim for the next few days. I wanted to post a link to this, though, a post I wrote yesterday for O'Reilly Radar. It came as kind of a moment of clarity for me on how the whole gov2.0 space is shaping up. I think it's important to understanding DIYcity's place in the ecosystem of civic data - as well as understanding any other effort in relation to the whole. This could easily have been a post to DIYcity instead of Radar, but it ended up there. So I'll link out to it.

Open 311 & SeeClickFix
By John GeraciGlad to see SCF is taking this up and pushing it forward. The more people/groups that get involved in the defining of an open standard, the faster the idea will get adopted.
There is also this Discussion group, just started by someone at TOPP, which emerged as a result of stuff that's been floating around DIYcity and other sites.
