The full document is available for sharing and embedding.

  • White House Open for questions: an interactive question and answer session with the President
  • Recovery.org dialogue: a crowd-sourcing process designed to tap the IT community for ideas for implementing Recovery.gov
  • Open Government Directive collaboration: a collaborative policy-writing process to openly develop a draft of the Open Government policy
  • Data.gov: a web portal providing access to Federal government data sets
