1. Web 2.0 Practitioners (#W2P)

The #W2P community is formed by engaged, networked and hard-working public servants, who share values of sharing and collaborating (with a bit of risk-taking thrown in). The members are focused on results and meeting challenges. The community shares successes, failures, unbridled insight and even material across the silos as needed. Web 2.0 is empowering government to better connect with citizens externally (social media), better collaborate internally (collaborative tools), and better openness all across (open data). Communities can augment their value to members by supporting better information sharing and collaboration between members by modernising their structure and focus as well as applying Web 2.0 tools. Such modern communities work differently, in more innovative, social and adaptable ways, focused less on structure and more on the people that comprise them.
