Github + NYSenate = FLOSSy goodness
Our recent efforts to open up the Senate’s legislative data and online services have gotten positive recognition from Github.com, a leader in providing social coding services and the site we happen to host our open-source projects on. Here’s an excerpt from their blog:
“The cool thing for us is that they’ve put all their open source projects up on GitHub at github.com/nysenatecio for you to use and improve. We are very happy that we can help them share these projects, and I hope more local and federal government efforts will open up to this degree. Congratulations to the New York Senate for moving forward with openness and accountability.”
p.s.
FLOSS = free/libre/open source software
p.s.s.
Though our code is indeed up on Github, we’ve still got a few revisions to checkin and documentation to write to make it easy for the rest of the world to really use. Stay tuned!
