NZ Open Government Data BarCamp
The New Zealand Open Government Data BarCamp is an "unconference" for people who are interested in making government-held data more freely available for others to re-use. An "unconference" is an alternative participant-driven event, that avoids aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored presentations.
Web 2.0 developments have shown the potential of combining data from different sources made freely available on the Internet. The government holds a huge range of non-personal data which could form the basis of innovative services and applications by others on the Internet.
You should come if you are interested in government information policy, explore ways to provide data, making entrepreneurial use of the Internet, or building working applications during a weekend.
And, as has been pointed out, " It would be great to have some UX people there, for the hackfest too (we could do some user research, wireframe things, do usability bits & pieces on apps which are created on the day, dream up apps...)”

Webstock Web Conference
Webstock is is a four-day web experience: two days of intensive workshops, followed by a two-day conference. The aim: to improve how websites are built through inspiration, education, insightful analysis and practical application.
Never before has such a gathering of web celebrity taken place in NZ. Featuring international talent and web royalty who will provide you with expert knowledge, this is not just your average web conference.
Webstock will have a uniquely New Zealand feel, and in the spirit of one of the greatest mind-expanding festivals ever known, there'll be inspiration and horizon-broadening galore, and fun and merriment aplenty! There'll be ample opportunities for you to chatter and befriend other web-loving individuals over a drink or three, and the chance to mix and mingle with some of the biggest web names in the world!
Whether you're a web designer, developer, analyst, content-editor, information/solution architect or a decision maker from the corporate, government, non-government organisation or education sector in NZ or from further afield - there'll be something motivating, exciting and immensely valuable for you!
Webstock is brought to you by the good people at Web Standards NZ who've taken it upon themselves to promote raising the standard of web sites in their own backyard (and abroad), and have a jolly good time while they're doing it.
