White House Wants Input On Public Access Rules For Federally Funded Research
,----[ Quote ]
| The Office of Science & Technology Policy
| remains one of the few White House operations
| that seems to actually have a good grasp on the
| internet and what it means for various other
| aspects of governance. That's why it's good to
| see them asking for input into what the
| administration should do in terms of requiring
| public access for federally funded research
| (thanks to Lee for sending this over). There's
| been a big debate over this for years.

Should the White House Contribute to the Open Source Community?
,----[ Quote ]
| While this measure may not be an immediate
| cost-saver (5 different companies are
| involved in re-building and maintaining the
| White House web site), long-term costs
| should fall as government agencies are able
| to borrow from the greater Drupal community
| while incrementally improving on the
| websites code. But the question remains,
| will the Obama White House share some of the
| contributions itâs making to open source?
