Another good news to share on accelerating open innovation and saving taxpayers money. White House have released for public comment a draft policy to support improved access to custom software code developed for the Federal Government.As part of the Second Open Government Partnership National Action Plan, the White House policy would "require new software developed specifically for or by the Federal Government to be made available for sharing and re-use across Federal agencies."
