NASA LAUNCHES NEW OPEN GOVERNMENT BLOG
WASHINGTON -- NASA has launched the new http://open.nasa.gov blog to
highlight the agency's Open Government success stories. The site is
part of the White House's Open Government Initiative, which requires
federal agencies to create a new level of openness and accountability
and provide public access to unclassified data.
The site is a collaborative blog for the open government community to
highlight the ways that transparency, participation, and
collaboration are being embraced throughout the agency.
"NASA is committed to experimenting with and embracing new
participatory ways of collaboration," said Linda Cureton, the
agency's chief information officer. "The launch of open.NASA is a new
chapter in NASA's culture of openness and an exciting new way to
engage citizens in our activities."
NASA released its Open Government Plan in April 2010 in response to a
White House directive. The new open.NASA blog is complimentary to the
official NASA Open Government website, which includes the Open
Government Plan, a status report and associated projects. To learn
