Bureaucrats like Github

A post on Oreilly Radar informs us that Github is trending as the social-repository of choice for governments and public institutions who want to publish data, standards and source code.

Some remarkable examples:

• US - https://github.com/WhiteHouse
• NASA - https://github.com/nasa
• UK - https://github.com/alphagov
• Canada - https://github.com/pwgsc
• Finlandia - https://github.com/avoinministerio
• Buenos Aires - https://github.com/gcba

Github also destined an evangelist to the task. The objective: change the way governments actually face (and solve) ICT problems, studying similar solutions in the social repository, and implementing from scratch only when really required.
