It's grassroots conference time in Wellington, with barcamp 2007 e-government on Sat 15 Sept, and Kiwicon on the Sat 17 and Sun 18 November.

Kiwicon is a security conference, and it sounds like it will be for the technically minded folks in the security community -- sessions on hacking, wifi insecurity, forensics and more. Sounds interesting!

barcamp is an un-conference about e-government / Government 2.0. Sessions are scheduled and time-slotted on the day. It looks like there's going to be some interesting stuff discussed - identity, privacy, community, accessibility and more.

Sounds like a few scheduled weekends away from the family...
