Recent History of OpenGov Sunshine Week: March 16, 2010 The White House Blog Sunshine Over Washington D.C. Posted by Norm Eisen on March 16, 2010 at 08:00 AM EDT

―This Sunshine Week, as we join individuals and organizations across the country in recognizing the vital importance of openness in government, we wanted to look back on the many areas where we have opened government up and let the sunshine in—and also look forward to how we will build on our efforts so far to promote transparency.

The White House today issued this Memorandum from the Chief of Staff and the White House Counsel taking due note of our successes—and urging the agencies to redouble these efforts in our second year in key areas such as Freedom of Information Act compliance.‖

Challenges Ahead 







Government Public Web becomes outdated soon after we post a press release, a video, a blog, or an idea Today, it primarily serves as an archive of past information, or a mechanism for releasing timely information to the public about events, policy directives, new initiatives, accomplishments, etc.

How do we move Open Government from Gov 1.0 to Gov 2.0?

How do we overcome cultural barriers to participation?



How do we engage citizens in a deeper and more meaningful way?



How do we measure success?
