- NSW Government ICT Strategy 2012
- NSW Department of Finance and Services, May 4, 2012. "Information and communications technology is an everyday tool for almost all our daily transactions and information needs. It allows for innovative approaches to government service delivery and community and industry engagement. The NSW Government ICT Strategy 2012 sets out the first steps to support the public sector to drive better service delivery, greater transparency and better value from investment in ICT... The NSW Government is putting the citizens at the centre of decision making and transforming the way we provide services. Information and communications technology (ICT) provides the way to better deliver services to residents while at the same time enabling government to be more flexible and efficient in the conduct of its business. We are committed to making it easier for NSW citizens to interact with government, to harnessing the opportunities provided by ICT to improve government operations, and to developing the ICT industry in NSW..."

- How open should open data be? Transport for NSW at the centre of a data controversy
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Tuesday, April 30, 2013. "Some will remember the knots that RailCorp tied itself into in 2009 when attempting to sue three developers for packaging Sydney rail timetables into mobile apps. How things have changed. Recently the NSW government applauded one of those developers for his mobile app, which has reportedly been downloaded a million times. However the agency which absorbed RailCorp, Transport for NSW, has now been thrust into the centre of another data controversy, with Fairfax's Ben Grubb reporting a row over how real-time transport data has been released..."

- Row over 'anti-competitive' real-time transport data release
- by Ben Grubb. Sydney Morning Herald, April 30, 2013. "The NSW government has been accused of creating an "anti-competitive" environment among public transport app developers by allowing only some to access its real-time bus and train data. Developer Theo Julienne, one of the researchers who cracked the secret algorithm used on Sydney's public transport tickets, which could in theory allow him to print his own, says Transport for NSW is creating the environment by only releasing its real-time transport data to the winners of two competitions it held with app developers. Access to real-time data allows smartphone app developers to integrate position data from buses and trains into their apps to provide a more accurate up-to-the-minute timetable..."

- Opening up government in NSW
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Wednesday, September 26, 2012. "While largely unreported, earlier this year the NSW government became the first state jurisdiction in Australia to provide a formal written commitment to open government at a Premier level. In Victoria, which took an early lead as a state, Government 2.0 (which isn't quite the same as open government) never received a formal commitment from the Premier, and while the ACT has done good work in this space, and is actively pursuing an open government agenda, there's not been an actual formal written commitment from the Chief Minister..."

- NSW Govt opens transport data to Google Maps, developers
- By Josh Taylor. ZDNet, July 25, 2012. "Summary: The NSW Government has opened up the data on Sydney train, bus and ferry timetables to Google and other third party developers, but real-time data is no where to be seen. Sydney has joined Canberra, Adelaide and some 475 other cities worldwide in allowing people to plan their trips on public transport via Google Maps, in a joint project between Google and the New South Wales Government..."

- Are we missing the bus on Gov 2.0 data?
- By Stilgherrian, ZDNet Australia, June 20, 2011. "A popular Sydney Buses app died when Sydney Transit cut off the data feed after just a few weeks, citing lack of server capacity. Developer Ben Hosken is disappointed, but he's more concerned that developers aren't making enough use of the government data on offer. Hosken, who heads up Flink Labs, created the app for the apps4nsw 2011 competition in February. Despite the app's web page scoring 200,000 page views over the three weeks in which it was active, he knew that the live bus location data would only be available for the duration of the competition — and he understands that serving out data reliably isn't as easy as you might first think..."

- Cutting commutes with data mining
- By Mahesh Sharma, ZDNet Australia, February 28, 2011. "Sydney drivers on the notoriously congested M4 tollway could soon shorten their commutes courtesy of a recently completed data mining competition coordinated by local start-up Kaggle. The competition was to produce an algorithm to forecast travel times on the M4 for intervals ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours with the greatest accuracy. It was contested by 364 teams from the Kaggle community — consisting of professional data analysts, statisticians and students from around the world — who used over two years worth of historical data from the NSW roads and traffic authority..."

- NSW govt opens up data for app development
- Public transport, energy and environmental data on the agenda, by Georgina Swan (Techworld Australia). Computerworld, 18 February, 2011. "Software developers will have the chance to create mash up data and innovative applications as the NSW government opens up information on public transport, energy use and the environment for community use. Developers will attend the apps4nsw Development Day weekend at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, but the prize pot has been significantly downgraded with prizes of up to $1500 for the best entries. Last year’s competition winners, Brad Spencer's Demographic Drapes and the Smart Mashups team, took home $15,000 in prizes..."

- Realtime Sydney Buses
- Flink Labs. "Realtime Sydney Buses is an interactive visualisation showing the location of buses in and around Sydney and Newcastle. You can zoom in and out of the map, rollover a bus to see which service it is and filter the buses you see using the search at the top of the screen. Each bus is equipped with a hardware device that records its location via GPS, and transmits it to a central server via the 3G mobile network. Buses transmit these messages at certain intervals and also when they pass certain points along their intended route. The position of each bus is updated and published every minute or so..."

- What's been the impact of Victoria and NSW's Gov 2.0 Apps competitions?
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Thursday, July 15, 2010. "On 21 June Victoria announced the winners of its App My State competition, with prizes being given out by the Premier. A list of the winners and a video of the presentation is here. A few days later on 24 June NSW announced the winners of the Apps4NSW competition, with their own video. Most competitions end when the prizes are awarded. The top entries get some kudos, while everyone else goes home empty-handed, their entries forgotten. However in an Apps competition, such as NSW and Victoria's events, the award ceremony is only the beginning..."
