Fair points Richard. Its not meant to be prescriptive but more  
encouraging for those who have informally expressed an interest but  
have not signed up yet. In particular, this means those working on  
web stuff inside government/public sector. There's a list of great  
people signed up who have loads of expertise and experience to share.  
But in my mind, if the people who actually do this stuff aren't there  
then we are all missing a trick and an opportunity to create a common  
vision about what we should be doing and how.

All we are trying to do is stimulate some debate around the content  
of the day in advance so that people have an idea about, 1. what to  
expect and 2. where they might fit in. But it is all completely open  
for debate, amendment and change depending on what the participants  
want.

I still think there's plenty of space in the day for the kind of  
stuff you are interested in.

Incidentally, I understand that there is a further event planned for  
March which is much more focused on use of data, mash-ups, civic  
hacking etc in particular rather than improving the way government  
uses the web generally, but I am not involved in that one so can't  
give you any more detail than that. Will ask around though and try  
and update you.
