Local Government Update 2012
Gisborne District Council is a client of ours and their website has just been named the top council website in the country at this week's local government web symposium. ALGIM, who organised the event, produces a list ranking the country's 80 council websites on a variety of criteria including web...
Ministry of Science and Innovation shows innovation on the web
When the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MSI) is looking for a web presence, it has to be something extraordinary. MSI is a new government agency driving science and innovation to increase New Zealand's economic, environmental and social performance.
SilverStripe at the Algim 2011 Web Symposium
We're all a hustle and bustle in the office right now, because at the same time that some of us will be in Chicago at the CMS Expo, others will be attending the ALGIM 2011 Web Symposium on May 2 and 3.

Watch the future of government
SilverStripe recently attended and exhibited at GOVIS, a three day, IT sector conference for New Zealand government agencies. Our experience there reminded us why our government has such a hard time using the web innovatively.
Open Source Software taking off in government
I imagine Barry Polley expertly swinging a machete to clear a path in a dense Honduran jungle. If Barry's never cleared a path in a jungle, I'd be surprised. Because that's exactly what he's doing at the Ministry of Justice.
Barcamp Wellington
Last Saturday I (Brian) went to the NZ egov barcamp here in Wellington. It was a wonderfully informal event attended by about 80 or so of the New Zealand website creation crowd and government representatives who care about how government websites get built.
