February 5, 2010: OpenEPA is LIVE! http://openepa.ideascale.com/ #OpenGov” #OpenEPA
They should all be open for ideas by the end of the day, or by tomorrow morning…
OK, who has http://agency.gov/open webpages up?
Until the OGD Dashboard gets developed and implemented, how about posting your agency’s /open web pages here? Has anybody got one up yet? “Show Me Your URL!” 😉
White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/open
OGD DashBoard – http://blog.ostp.gov/2009/12/16/the-white-house-open-government-dashboard-seeking-your-input/
Here’s SunLight Labs Open Watcher – http://sunlightlabs.com/open/
1.20.2010 – Labor Dept. Open Website appears to be the first real one. http://www.dol.gov/open
1.22.2010 – Homeland Security Open Page: http://www.dhs.gov/open
HUD = http://www.hud.gov/open
DOT = http://www.dot.gov/open
USAID = http://www.usaid.gov/open
2.1.2010 – USDA – (With Citizen Engagement Tool) – http://www.usda.gov/open/
2.3.2010 – OK, so I’m tooting our horn – OpenEPA is LIVE!
I was thinking along these lines recently also, Barry. I would suggest creating a group for more sustained attention and responses.
I haven’t seen one yet…I’m guessing the first will pop up after the holidays.
Sunlight labs is tracking, but last I looked they left off EPA and other major agencies that should have been included. No one has one up yet that I know of, but I know several folks working on them.

I’ve cross-posted this to the OpenGov21 group…
I am much more concerned about the quality of those pages than the quantity. The two you have listed so far are not even worth clicking on as they are BOTH just placeholders. IMO, Sunlight labs should not be counting DOT as having a page…

Business.gov, an SBA program, has just published several datasets to meet the OGD. You can find them on the Small Business Administration’s Open Page: http://www.sba.gov/open/
If you’d like to get a little more insight about web services and why they are useful to your agency’s constituents please read my article on making Public Data More Accessible Through Web Services. If you are a developer looking for government data to get your hands on please visit our Web Service API page.
OK, so I’m tooting our horn – OpenEPA is LIVE!

For an easier (hopefully) way to follow what kind of feedback people are giving, I put together a combined RSS feed across 26 agencies sites that offer idea/discussion forums:

I will add more feeds as they become available.
Let me know what you think.
