Last night, DC’s government 2.0 community got together in NW DC for the “Summer of Gov” happy hour whose purpose is to celebrate two milestones in the history of Government 2.0.

Milestone One:

Apps for Democracy “Community Edition” — the second round of the DC’s remarkable and much watched Apps for Democracy contest — wrapped up on July 1st. The big announcements are expected next week.
