Crowdsourcing Vivek Kundra’s Interview: Send Your Questions

by Andrea Di Maio  |  September 30, 2009  |  4 Comments

As some of you might know, Gartner is holding its annual Symposium and IT EXPO in Orlando, FL between October 18 and 22, 2009. This year we have a lot of sessions on government IT, covering hot topics such as Web 2.0, Social Media and Cloud Computing.

But the highlight of the event will be a keynote interview with Vivek Kundra, the US Federal CIO, that my colleague Tina Nunno and myself will be conducting . This will take place on Sunday October 18 at 6 p.m. and will last about 45 minutes.

As Vivek is a Web 2.0 enthusiast, I thought it would make perfect sense to crowdsource some of the questions we are going to ask him.

Therefore you are welcome to suggest your questions in four different ways:

  • by posting a comment to this blog
  • by posting a question on our Gartner survey page
  • by posting (or rating) a question through Google Moderator  (it requires a Gmail account)
  • by tweeting with hashtag #GartnerKundra

I will be issuing a couple of reminders and possibly a summary of top questions as we get closer to the event.

Looking forward to being joined by some of you on stage and by most of you in the audience.

    Private cloud: isn’t this going to create governance and buy-in challenges that are similar to those of shared services/LOBs that the federal government has tried to do for 8 years? what do you think can be done to break those barriers?

    1. How does the federal government plan to balance openness and privacy, in terms of citizen data?

    2. What is the federal government’s view on net neutrality?

    3. How does the federal government plan to balance openness and security, in terms of feared terrorist attacks on or via the Internet?

    How does the Federal Government plan to address the security concerns in going to the public cloud?
