MA Open Forum on the Future of Electronic Data Formats for the Commonwealth

The Massachusetts Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies and the Science and Technology Caucus held a meeting titled "An Open Forum on the Future of Electronic Data Formats for the Commonwealth". It was held in the Senate Reading Room, and I was able to record the meeting. The meeting was moderated by State Senator Jack Hart and Representative Cory Atkins. Also in attendance were the other co-chairs of the committee and caucus, Representative Dan Bosley and Secretary of Economic Development Ranch Kimball, and other legislators as well as many attendees from various constituencies. Berkman Center's John Palfrey gave an introductory address, and then we heard from the main panel: Bob Sutor of IBM, Bob Sproull of Sun Microsystems, Peter Quinn of MA ITD, Alan Yates of Microsoft, Alan Cote from the Secretary of State's Office, and Judy Brewer from W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative. ITD's Linda Hamel was also asked to speak from the floor. There were then some questions and statements from the audience. Recorded: 2005-12-14 Length: 2:20:37, Size: 64.3MB
