OSCON 2009: Governments and open sourceOSCON 2009: Governments and open sourcePosted Jul 30, 2009 9:58 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304)Parent article: OSCON 2009: Governments and open source
So this was 'open government as long as the government is the US
government', right? Nothing was mentioned about any other governments in the article, so presumably this was all US-focused.

Thing like UK's Free our Data campaign is starting to bare fruit and government sponsored initiatives like Show us a Better Way are looking for potential projects.

I'm not terribly confident in the UK government's commitment to openness
in any way, shape, or form, I'm afraid. This is the very home of secrecy :/

Well, I think similar stuff is going on in many other countries as well. I know that we've talked about it quite a bit in Norway. And Linux-heavy Germany should be talking about it. Don't know if they are though.
