Great sources for local government transparency

I wanted to draw everyones attention to a couple of great local government transparency initiatives. One is #localgovchat on Twitter. It’s got a lot of great information on how people are working at a local level to get government up online.

#localgovchat actually let me to OpenMuni, which is a “tool for cataloging case studies, best practices, and standards for open data and open source on the local level.” It has an amazing database of local open source initiatives, as well as great data set examples for local governments.
