On the whole I am very encouraged and enthusiastic on what I have read. The impact of this will be far reaching if it is implemented thoroughly. I do have some scepticism about the likely success though. This has come from a very insular and protective regime that are hardly known for their Open Government and libertarian policies. But time will tell. http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2009/02/26/on-the-open-source-open-standards-and-re-use-government-action-plan/ Hi John,
