Tonight MuniGov will be filming a future town council meeting taking place in the year 2013.  The film will be a machinima that depicts what a typical council meeting might be like 20 years from now.  The film will be used as a submission article from MuniGov on web 2.0 in the future.  Come join us and be a virtual citizen in the year 2013.  The filming will take place at 7 pm ET tonight in the Birminghan Council Chambers http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Birmingham%20Island/239/239/1002

MuniGov will not have a meeting on December 22, 2010 to enjoy a holiday break.  We will meet again on the 2nd Wednesday in January.  In 2011 MuniGov will work on an article on government web2.0 futures, our new OpenSim space, the munigov blog and continuing the v-town concept.  We also have a revamp of the website on the "do do" list. 2011 is shaping up to be an exciting year. 

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the MuniGov meeting will not be held on November 24, 2010.  See you all at the next meeting on December 8, 2010.

We know you find value in the collaboration and free flow information exchange of MuniGov members.  To help you keep up with the discussion we have added a summary of websites, questions and other information to help you keep up.
