oreilly government transparency cio

  • Even though the data is public, it is very expensive today. The Copyright Database, for example, costs $86,625 for the retrospective and a one-year feed (we harvested this in 2007 as you reported, but this would be much easier if they simply provided an FTP server and rsync!)
  • The Congressional Research Service is such a no-brainer. With the exception of classified information, who can afford the luxury of paying for some of the best research in the world and then just bury it! Taxpayer dollars paid for CRS reports and they need to be available.
  • In this day and age, you can't say a committee hearing is public if you can't access it on the Internet. Itty-bitty streaming video using some proprietary client/format just doesn't cut it any more. We ran a pilot with 4 house committees to show that this is very doable and makes a huge difference

  • One of the key points was that it is important when government agencies release bulk data, that they do so in the lowest-level format possible. For example, for the Congressional Record and other official journals of government, we want XML plus images, as opposed to just PDF files or other final-form data.
  • When I spoke with Congressman Honda's staff, they made clear that they'd love Silicon Valley's best ideas for other technological reforms that they can include in future legislation. When you've got a Congressman who's paying attention, that's a great opportunity!
  • Vivek Kundra, the new Federal CIO appointee, gave two great examples of how release of government data can be an aid not just to government transparency, but can spark entire industries.
  • Obama needs to STOP creating Panic and realize that Government is NOT the answer. Smart innovators like yourself ARE the answer. Get the money into motivated people like you and we all will prosper.

  • The FTC is already aware of the privacy and security concerns that come with keeping everything in the cloud; it recently held a meeting to talk about how companies can manage data security issues when data might span multiple jurisdictions.

  • The program works with IBM and Google on their Cloud Computing University initiative, and is designed to look at the infrastructure requirements to make leading-edge cloud computing system
  • Whereas with the Web we could, from any point on the web, see pretty much everything else, with the Cloud we will not be able to know what’s taking place in the system, just as we cannot see today what exists inside of clouds. They are murky, dense objects that reveal almost no depth at all.
  • While everything on the outside appears to be as it was before, what’s happening on the inside of the new cloud-computing systems will be completely different. And I have, as of yet, to see a comprehensive analysis of how our privacy, our data security and our online lives will be affected by such a system.

  • To me, Cloud Computing models offer the greatest possibility for data control–and the abuse of that control–that I’ve ever seen.

  • "There are too many components that cost $20 by themselves, never mind as a package."

      En concreto los costos de algunas piezas y fabriación todavía no son tan bajos como para tener un equipo tan barato.
  • "it might be more plausible if we were talking about a 'fat keyboard' type of system that connects to a TV." After reading press coverage of the machine's specs, he adds that "it might be fine as an e-book reader, but I don't believe it will be a general-purpose machine."
  • "The technical data we have received to now suggests it is very inferior, but that does not matter at all,"

  • Sakshat has two gigabytes of random-access memory and wireless and fixed Ethernet connections, consumes just two watts of power, and will be available in retail outlets in India in six months. Generally, though, the announcement raised more questions than it answered about what had actually been achieved.
