IMO:

The Australian Federal Government's efforts currently appear to be focused on 
an initiative called 'Government 2.0'. See the blog at [1].


If you scroll down a bit you'll see a link to the final Taskforce Report.

I really like presentation from Jason Birch from City of Nanaimo about reasons 
to open data and how to do it.

I'm looking for information to include in a short proposal that might sway some

the masses and need points of reasoning to point them at.


I already have some info related to general practices moving towards this type 
of data availability, and some of the recent threads on the OSGEO lists about 
data licensing would likely come into play as well.


Thanks for any pointers on this.

Publishing data would be consistent with Presidents open government

[OSGeo-Discuss] Looking for information about Open Data practices and how it help to foster collaboration.

[Bob Basques]

All, 

I'm putting together a proposal here at the City to open up more of our 
datasets to the public.  We currently have about 30 GIS data layers available 
to the public, ( http://, ) with ~170 layers that are not public.  While there 
are some layers that won't be made available for security or licensing issues, 
there are many that the owners of simply don't want to make available. 

I'm looking for information to include in a short proposal that might sway some 
of the folks sitting on datasets internally to get them to publish the data to 
the masses and need points of reasoning to point them at. 

I already have some info related to general practices moving towards this type 
of data availability, and some of the recent threads on the OSGEO lists about 
data licensing would likely come into play as well.   

Thanks for any pointers on this.
