NASA RELEASES NEW OPEN GOVERNMENT PLAN
WASHINGTON -- NASA today released version 2.0 of its Open Government
Plan, which includes a flagship initiative to build a new web
architecture and a renewed focus on open data sharing, open source
development and a variety of technology acceleration efforts.
The plan also features a directory of more than 100 participatory,
collaborative and transparent projects, offering citizens
opportunities to understand, support and engage with the agency.
Throughout the next year, NASA will continue to add projects to the
directory.
NASA's Open Government efforts launched two years ago in response to
the December 2009 Open Government Directive, which called on
executive agencies to become more open and accountable. Since then,
the agency has worked to implement 147 goals addressing policy,
technology and culture throughout its centers and offices. Also
released today is an infographic summarizing the status of progress
made toward these goals, available at:

"Open Government principles are already evident in numerous activities
underway throughout the agency," said Sasi Pillay, NASA chief
technology officer for IT at the NASA Headquarters in Washington.
"This revision of the Plan captures these activities in one place for
the benefit of all."
The new plan provides a strong framework to better support the
agency's vision to reach for new heights and reveal the unknown.
