A post on Oreilly Radar informs us that Github is trending as the social-repository of choice for governments and public institutions who want to publish data, standards and source code.
Some remarkable examples:
- US – https://github.com/WhiteHouse
- NASA – https://github.com/nasa
- UK – https://github.com/alphagov
- Canada – https://github.com/pwgsc
- Finlandia – https://github.com/avoinministerio
- Buenos Aires – https://github.com/gcba
Github also destined an evangelist to the task. The objective: change the way governments actually face (and solve) 15ICT problems, studying similar solutions in the social repository, and implementing from scratch only when really required.
