The US Fed. Govt. is proposing a pilot program to release at least 20% of newly developed custom code as 'OSS'. https://sourcecode.cio.gov/ They're accepting comments now. And since it's hosted on GitHub, you "comment" via the issue queue, and you can also fork the project and issue a pull request.
I forked it and created a pull request. https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/pulls proposing to use the term 'Free Software' in place of 'Open Source' If the government actually goes through with 'open sourcing' their work, it's actually a giant corporate handout because companies will have greater access to publicly funded works that they can then incorporate into proprietary works.
