Open Source Projects
- OpenGovernment.org Developer Center and OpenGovernment & OpenCongress on Github
- NY State Senate Open Legislation system
- Northglenn, Colorado, US (This is the system referred to by Dan Schmick in the comments of the the thread “Has any local government implemented free and/or open source software to aid in recordkeeping?” in the ICMA Open Source Software group. Schmick indicates that Northglenn would be happy to release their stuff as open source; it’s more an issue of time and resources than willingness – it’s not really packaged for release, as of June 2010.)
- The State Decoded - platform for publishing state legal codes.
