wow. that's some high praise for my workplace. we have an irc channel that we sit on during the week @ irc.freenode.org #transparency come on in and hang out! :) our biggest piece of news is that the "apps for america contest[0]" ends next week @ 23:59:59 PDT August 7th. it's $10k for the best use of the data available on http://www.data.gov/ . thus far we've gotten a bunch of cool new apps but i suspect that i'll start seeing my in-queue fill up @ about 2am on sat morning. we also have our transparencycamp west[1] event august 8th-9th. it's an "un-conference" ala bar camp. if you're out near mountain view CA stop on by and check it out!
