[OSGeo-Discuss] United States Federal Agencies Primary Spatial Data Providers Have Best Transparency Plans?

[Landon Blake]

ProPublica has a story from yesterday about a review of plans on
government transparency from United States federal agencies. It looks
like the agencies that deal with a lot of geospatial data scored the
best. This includes NASA, Department of Housing and Urban Development,
and the EPA:

Does this bode well for the future of open geospatial data from the
United States government? I hope so.

 

Has anyone had a change to look over the plans that were released?
