Tell Us What Gov 2.0 Means To You

'Government as a Platform' was the theme and clarion call of Gov 2.0 Summit and Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase in 2009—the disruptive innovations in technology and process that will foster new levels of transparency, efficiency and participation in government today.

Tim O'Reilly has responded to the question "What is Gov 2.0?". We want to know what YOU have to say about it. Many of you submitted your interpretation of Gov 2.0 leading up to our recent Gov 2.0 Summit and Expo Showcase. We want to keep the conversation going.

We encourage you to record a short video response (30 seconds max), answering the question "What does Gov 2.0 mean to you?". From the responses, we're creating a collective of videos that we'll feature on this page, onsite during Gov 2.0 Summit (September 9-10), via the Gov 2.0 Events Facebook page, on GovLoop, and via Twitter.

Here's how you can participate:

1. Record your own video—30 seconds max—answering the question "What does Gov 2.0 mean to you?
2. Tag your video with #whatisgov2
3. Post your video to your favorite video service (YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, Flickr, etc)
