Danese Cooper: Von Opensource zu Open Government

Heute bin ich wieder auf einen sehr schönen Podcast aufmerksam geworden. In einem interessanten Interview spricht James Turner von O’Reilley Radar mit Danese Cooper von der the Open Source Initiative über die Bedeutung von Open Source für Open Government, ihre Arbeit an “Revolution Computing” und ihr beeindruckendes Engagement für die Open Source Bewegung: Making Government Transparent Using “R”

Danese Cooper thinks it will be an important tool in Open Gov

With Open Source now considered an accepted part of the software industry, some people are starting to wonder if we can’t bring the same degree of openness and innovation into government. Danese Cooper, who is actively involved in the open source community through her work with the Open Source Initiative and Apache, as well as working as an R wonk for Revolution Computing, would love to see the government become more open. Part of that openness is being able to access and interpret the mass of data that the government collects, something Cooper thinks R would be a great tool for. She’ll be talking about R and Open Government at OSCON, the O’Reilly Open Source Convention.

Ebenfalls sehr spannend die Diskussionsrunde auf der OSCON zum Thema Open Source / Open Government mit Danese Cooper (Open Source Initiative and REvolution Computing), Greg Elin (Sunlight Foundation), Brian Behlendorf, Silona Bonewald (League Of Technical Voters), Michael Tiemann (Open Source Initiative).

Barack Obama was elected on a platform for change and transparency, prompting some pundits to dub him the first “Open Source President”. But Obama isn’t the only one calling for change and increased transparency in government. Meet the movers and shakers in the transparent government movement and learn how to Open Source government and practically influence local and national government transparency.
