G'day ! This may be of interest to some of you. I've attended the last two CeDEM conferences, and have found them throughly enjoyable - and Government 2.0 is now a growing discussion topic and research area in many countries around the world, of course.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Conference for e-democracy, e-participation and e-voting 5-6 May 2011 Danube University Krems, Austria http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/cedem
During the last 10 years, the world has focused on social media and the new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation, collaboration and sharing as well as network organisation. These behaviours and expectations, in particular transparency and access to data, new ways of interacting with government and democratic institutions will continue to develop, and profound changes in society are to be expected. Society has been confronted with Open Government, Open Data and Open Access. What have the experiences been so far? How do these impact society, democratic structures and organisations? What changes occur at citizen level? What are the implications for democracy, society, science and business?
CeDEM11 presents the following tracks, which focus on these changes:
Track: E-PARTICPATION with co-chairs: Julia Glidden (21C Consulting, UK) Jeremy Millard (Danish Technological Institute, DK)
Track: OPEN ACCESS and OPEN DATA with co-chair: Andy Williamson (Hansard Society, UK)
Track: OPEN GOVERNMENT with co-chairs: Philipp Müller (University of Salzburg, Business School, AT) Axel Bruns (Queensland University of Technology, AUS)
Track: E-VOTING with co-chairs: Melanie Volkamer (Technical University Darmstadt, GER) Thad Hall (University of Utah, USA)
We would like to invite individuals from academic, applied and practitioner backgrounds as well as public authorities, NGO/NPOs, education institutions and independent organisations to submit their research and project papers as well as workshop proposals related to the CeDEM11 Tracks. We welcome different multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches and disciplines including (but not limited to): law & legal studies, social sciences, computer sciences, political sciences, psychology, sociology, applied computer gaming and simulation, democratic theory, media and communication sciences.
DEADLINE for Submissions: 1 December 2010

CFP: IRIS 2011, WORKSHOP: OPEN GOVERNMENT & OPEN ACCESS
Open Government can change how citizens interact with their own government. The Ministers responsible for the eGovernment policy of the European Union Member States stated that "there is a growing expectation from European citizens and businesses for their governments to be more open, flexible and collaborative in their delivery of public services across Europe." (Malmö, 2009) The use of ICT supports connectedness among citizens and can lead to more transparent, collaborative and participative society. This new research field includes:
* Empowerment of citizens: opportunities, problems and challenges; * Open government and changes in decision making processes; * The impact of transparent government on e-participation; * Changes in the G2B relationship; * Political and legal issues of open access and open data; * Open access and open data licence and format issues.

CFP: HCII INTERNATIONAL 2011
4th International Conference on Online Communities and Social Computing Parallel Session on "e-Deliberation 2.0" http://www.hcii2011.org/
The main aim of this session is to explore the deliberative potential of web 2.0 technologies, and, at the same time, to examine whether we need to rethink the very notion(s) of deliberation, in view of the ways in which people put in use the online tools available to them.
