"The fundamental principle of the type of open government we advocate is localism. We need to make it easy for people to deploy their own open source systems for common needs like schools and hospitals, and then make it easy for them to connect their system into a network that shares data and structures it for easy analysis. The technology platforms already exist in the form of open source CMS's, and most of the components exist too. They just haven't' been organized into complete systems that people can consume, they haven't been documented appropriately, and they haven't been connected together in a network. Most important of all, the story of how the system could work hasn't been successfully told, because it was, we'd be hearing politicians talking about open source as a solution to the budget crisis.
We're calling this project FLOAmerica (free, libre, open source America.)
