Mapping the Political Contours of Cyberspace

Posted by David on 28 October 2011, 4:05 pm

William Gibson coined the term “cyberspace”, for his 1982 short story Burning Chrome to create a “a narrative engine, and a territory in which the narrative could take place”.

Posted by David on 22 June 2009, 8:59 pm

One of the many delights of April’s eDemocracyCamp in Washington, was the chance to meet Sandy Heierbacher, Director and Co-founder of the inspiring National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation. Among many virtues, Sandy was one of the main enablers of the Public Engagement Principles (PEP) Project—launched in response to Barack Obama’s Memorandum on Transparency and [...]

Thanks to David Osimo‘s pioneering energy and imagination (and the enabling support of FutureGov and Headshift), I was privileged to have the opportunity to outline some of the thinking behind Debategraph at the European Commission’s Public Services 2.0 workshop in Brussels last month.

Posted by David on 20 January 2009, 9:49 pm

And so the kaleidoscope turns, and we see the world anew. Or do we? Barack Obama’s inauguration today as the 44th President of the United States of America, marks the end of a remarkable personal and national journey. Arrival at such a destination is a cause for global celebration. But as with all great journeys [...]

Posted by David on 5 January 2009, 5:11 pm

As the What Should Obama Do Next? map began to address the unfolding events in Gaza last week, it was soon apparent that the immediate crisis and the wider Arab-Israeli conflict merited detailed consideration on a new map. To this end, Independent readers and the Debategraph community have begun to seed a map on the [...]

Towards Live Government…

Posted by David on 11 December 2008, 12:13 am

As Jimmy observed in his blog on the Huffington Post, mastery of internet campaigning is not the same as delivering government via the web. So it has been [...]

Debate Maps, Public Policy, Openness and Trust

Posted by David on 14 March 2008, 9:48 pm

Prior to the post, Paul and William Heath catalysed a debate map on the government’s plans for a new Identity System in the UK; a [...]
