<br></div><div>I wanted you to be among the first to hear about an open source release for an Open Government Platform at <a href="http://www.data.gov/opengovplatform" target="_blank">http://www.data.gov/opengovplatform</a>…</div>
</font><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br></span></div>Among the actions in the U.S. National Action Plan announced by
President Obama is an effort under the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue to
produce “Data.gov-in-a-Box,” an open source version of the United
States’ Data.gov data portal and India’s <a href="http://India.gov.in" target="_blank">India.gov.in</a> document portal.
The U.S. and India are working together to produce an open source
version available for implementation by countries globally, encouraging
governments around the word to stand up open data sites that promote
transparency, improve citizen engagement, and engage application
developers in continuously improving these efforts. Technical teams
from the governments of the U.S. and India have been working together
since August of this year, with a planned launch of a complete open
source product (which is now called the Open Government Platform (OGPL)
to reflect its broad scope) in early 2012.

<p>
Check out the <a title="" href="http://www.data.gov/opengovplatform#TB_inline?height=200&width=400&inlineId=tb_external" target="_blank">Open Government Platform repository on Github</a>.
You'll find here a growing set of open source, open government
platform code that allows any city, organization, or government to
create an open data site.
</p>
<p>
The first module released is the Data Management System, which provides
the tools and capabilities for an automated process for publishing data
in the Open Government Platform, an open source product designed to
facilitate governments around the world to stand up their own open
government data sites. Any government adopting the Open Government
Platform will be able to download and use the DMS code to submit,
approve, and update catalog data electronically on Open Government
Platform websites and view management metrics reports.
</p>
<p>
Our next planned release will be from India and related to the web site for the Open Government Platform.
</p>
<p>
The U.S. and India will be providing additional modules in the future,
and developers are encouraged to participate, provide feedback, and
create new modules and capabilities!
