US government - Reusable and Open Source Software

The US White House has announced (in its blog) Leveraging American Ingenuity through Reusable and Open Source Software. They state that, “Today, we’re releasing for public comment a draft policy to support improved access to custom software code developed for the Federal Government.” They are accepting comments on this draft policy via GitHub pull requests, GitHub issues, or email. I definitely plan to take a look, and I’m sure they would like feedback from many people.

Note that I also posted this information on Twitter.
