Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for checking in.
We took a break with our effort last fall at the recommendation of a DC colleague who suggested not much headway would be made on the topic until after the elections, a noisy environment (and not likely part of anyone's campaign platform ;-)
And did not get restarted. That doesn't help much for news for you right now, but we are regathering some of our efforts at Open Source for America, and will look to regroup in a few months.
Are you studying the topic in the domestic context, or are you also looking abroad to understand what other countries are doing?
Thanks for asking, good to hear from you.
Cheers,
Deb Bryant
