Personally I think the 5 elements combined are key to an open government movement. I'm not sure if smaller towns would be able to get groups and conferences (4) off the ground though. If I look at my own town (Lansingerland, Netherlands, Europe) I can see them applying the other 4. But maybe this is also a difference in Culture?

I also think, that if local governments acquire community management skills, they would have more and faster results. Community Management can be the 'glue' between those elements.

I need to finish Jason's book, the foundation for an open source city. Still looking to compare culture, statistics like number of citizens, and find pratical examples if such a movement could work for my own town.

Informative overview of community types!
The community I am currently active in, which is http://ez.no , is definitely a 'single vendor open source project'. It needs to be said, that from day one, the products was released under an open source license. For more details ,read https://opensource.com/business/13/4/ez-systems.

I was formerly active in the Joomla project, which I think best fits the developer community.

Both projects have been (or should I say are?) a very learningful environment for me. The challenges we continue to face in the single vendor community, is to maintain a balance between enterprise and community.
