Sir Bonar addresses the Malmo09 unConference from a rain-soaked Whitehall

WRITTEN ON November 21st, 2009 BY William Heath AND STORED IN Pertinent Art, Political engagement

In another first for the Malmo09 First popular unConference on eGovernment, Britain’s most senior official responsible for ICTs addresses the people of Europe via video Twitter.

In his quest for a lingua franca he flirts with his fluent Farsi but, in an unexpected and courageous move, chooses to express himself in contempory Swedish. Exemplying the immaculate courtesy in which high-ranking British officials excel, he thanks Andreas and the Garaget team, and Magnus and the Swedish government for the warm welcome extended to all who attended the highly successful unConference.
