Draft of Gov. of Canada Digital Principles published (two of them related to open source)

[Gabriel Cossette]

"We are developing a set of principles to guide digital development in the Government of Canada. These will shape how we approach managing our information, our technology, and providing services. We have based these on international best practices and we’re looking for feedback."

Open source related Principles:

5. Work in the open
Share and collaborate in the open, plan to make data open from the start.

7. Build in an open and interoperable way
Give equal consideration for open source. Use open standards. Build in an interoperable and reusable way.

I submitted a comment to add "and source code" to #5 to be more specific and align with the UK and AU #8 Principle.

You have until December 8 to submit your feedback :)
