Was the OMB social media change but don't think it included persistent cookies.

I like them so far, they are fun to read, especially the "flagships initiatives": http://www.whitehouse.gov/open/documents/flagship-initiatives.
I was a prolific "idea poster", and I see seeds of some of my ideas (along with many others) scattered throughout. I gather the plans will be viewed as "living documents" with plenty of opportunity to weigh in with our proposed changes and enhancements..
Very cool!

On April 7, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency published the Open Government Plan, an Innovation Timeline, and started a Forum Blog for Public Discussion. In a flurry of activity, following months of preparation and planning, the EPA completed the latest milestone of the Open Government Directive, and then some. But this is not the end of the story, only the beginning of a new level of ongoing public engagement.

Need more transparency/openess in county/township/city governments across America.
Also at DOD and Law Enforcement/police agencies--entities notorious for secrecy, inhouse corruption, "no remorse" responses for overtly criminal, lower level/administrative procedural mistakes.

Open source tools are sometimes the most valuable. Everything can be found with just a little patience and know-how.

SBA’s Open Government Plan establishes our agency's roadmap for moving forward to create and institutionalize a culture of Open Government. The many items described in this plan will be prioritized and sub-plans to implement them will be constructed. The public is encouraged to comment on the plan and the milestones identified or offer suggestions for other transparency, participation, and collaboration opportunities. Comments can be sent to opengov@sba.gov.
