Draft email (still to be finalized): (Chris Hankin)



For some time now, the OSFA Steering Committee has been considering anOSFA deliverable for 2010: a grading or report card on the various USgovernment agencies and their policies and practices as regards opensource software and openness more generally. (By openness, we intendthe same meaning as the Obama Administration: transparency,participation, and collaboration.)



With the Administration's issuance last month of its Open Government Directive ,we quickly came to agreement that this is a project that should goforward, but with a new twist. We would first like to issue a set of"Principles for Open Government Plans," to help guide the differentagencies as they each seek to publish their mandated Open 



GovernmentPlan by the April 7th due date. Our expectation would be toissue this set of principles the first week of February, thus providingthe agencies with sufficient time to take it into account.
Please help us write the OSFA“Principles for Open Government Plans.” Go to xxxxx, log in, and jointhe discussion. We have supplied a first draft, which we expect theOSFA community to significantly improve. We are opening this discussiontoday; and will close it on January 29th.



Following publication of our principles,we will then begin work on a set of metrics/questions that we wouldintend to use to grade the agencies following the April 7th launch of their Open Government Plans.



Thank you in advance for your assistance,
OSFA Steering Committee
