Top 10 Measurements for Transparency

,----[ Quote ]
| Here’s a quick outline of the 10 measurements:
|
| 1.    Open data: The federal government should make all data searchable, 
|       findable and accessible. 
| 2.    Disclose spending data: The government should disclose how it is 
|       spending taxpayer dollars, who is spending it and how it’s being 
|       spent.  
| 3.    Procurement data: How does the government decide where the money is 
|       getting spent, who gets it, how they are spending it and how can we 
|       measure success.

Who Can Put the "Open" in Open Science?

,----[ Quote ]
| However, it's easy to think of circumstances where *new* code is being 
| written to run on proprietary engines where it is simply not possible to 
| check the logic hidden in the black boxes. In these circumstances, it is 
| critical that open source be used at all levels so that others can see what 
| was done and how.

Open Science Requires Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| The central argument is important: that you can't do science with closed
| source software, because you can't examine its assumptions or logic
| (that "incomplete scientific record"). Open science demands open source.
