Open source headlines from the Open Government plans
,----[ Quote ]
| The Obama Administration's Open Government
| Directive ordered Federal agencies to produce
| open government plans by April 7th, and while
| some advocates are disappointed, we have
| before us a bewildering number of initiatives
| to improve transparency, collaboration, and
| participation across the Government. It will
| not surprise you to learn that I spent some
| time looking for places where open source is
| being used in these plans.

Pushing for consistency in ICT across government
,----[ Quote ]
| âA coordinated approach to ICT web services
| seems to be missing in New Zealandâ says
| event director, Tim Knapp. âMany of the
| government departments Iâve spoken to are
| in dire need of an organisation that can
| provide independent advice on open source
| web technologies, particularly as thereâs
| so many to choose from. Australia are far
| ahead of us on this front, where theyâve
| setup the Open Source Business Cluster to
| fill this needâ.
|
| Mr Knapp goes on to say âPlone is
| particularly suited to government as it is
| an enterprise-level content management
| system, exceeds the E-government standards
| for government websites, and therefore was
| officially sanctioned by the State Services
| Commission back in 2005â.
