Paul's Web Space 2.1

Politics, Culture, Technology

Stories about cool events I've attended, musings about social media and other technology, and commentary about people, issues, ideas, whatever. I've had a web site since 1994, at my own domain since 1997, and switched it to blog format in 2005. Now, in 2008, I've added labels, shuffled things around a bit and fixed some style and UI quirks - hence 2.1. Watch for more widgets and microformats....

Transparency in Government Act of 2008

The Sunlight Foundation just released a revised version of the Transparency in Government Act of 2008. This bill is an direct result of recommendations by Sunlight's Open House Project, which sought to examine the way that the U.S. Congress integrates the Internet into its work, and how the net might be used to shed more light on its operations.

You can view this latest revision of the Transparency in Government Act of 2008 and read about its background and reason for being at PublicMarkup.org.
