How can I find out more about open government?

The Open Government Directive (M-10-06) of December 8, 2009 sets an unprecedented standard for a more transparent, participatory, and collaborative form of government. You can find out more about what agencies throughout the Executive are doing to improve openness by visiting the White House’s Open Government Initiative website. Our open government site contains information about open government efforts at OPM.
