The man, the myth, the "old old-Millennial" himself, L. Lessig (and co.) on An Open Transition!
Published December 02, 2008 @ 11:27AM PT
Larry Lessig (and brilliant company) have launched An Open Transition:
President-elect Obama has made a very clear commitment to changing the way government works with its citizens. To this end, we offer these three principles to guide the transition in its objective to build upon the very best of the Internet to produce the very best for government.
Behold! Lessig speaks!
From his blog:
As I indicated yesterday, I was very encouraged by the decision by the Obama transition team to freely license change.gov (not actually a .gov entity, so not exempt from the rights of copyright).
But over the weekend, a bunch of us got together to begin (actually, continue) the process of framing "open government principles." The first round is described at Politico by Ben Smith.
