Dear Ton,

here comes some input from what is happening in Austria in the area of PSI/open data movements/developments 
(but I think you already know most of it):

 - City of Vienna has written 'Open Government Data' as an importanttopic in its new programme of the government 

 - The topic of Open Gov Data comes up slowly but surely more and more in the Austrian government & is discussed there

 - The Semantic Web Company (http://www.semantic-web.at) / OGD Austria (http://www.opendata.at) organises the 1st 
Open Government Data Conference Austria (OGD 2011 Conference Austria - see: http://www.ogd2011.at) for 16 June 2011 in Vienna.
Btw I will contact you in an additional mail to ask you to have you as a speaker there, if possible - please save the date now!!

 - As preparation for the mentioned OGD Austria conference we hold 4 OGD stakeholder workshops in early February 2011 in Vienna:
10-15 representatives of the 4 stakeholder identified groups: citizens, politicians, public administration and industry/economy
will work & discuss the most important requirements of OGD in Austria together with us for 1 day each  - the respective report 
on this will be presented at the conference & published.

 - The OGD Austria initiative publishes the OGD Austria Digest every 6 weeks - 2 digests already published: http://www.ogd2011.at/ogd-digest

 - Furthermore open gov data initiatives & first steps are happening at the moment in the Austrian cities of Linz and Graz 
(and a little bit in Salzburg I have been told)

I do hope this helps to give you an overview what is happening in Austria at the moment

Cheers - Martin

Thanks guys!
In the Netherlands itself the most recent news is that:
1) An official gov data catalogue has been soft-launched in beta yesterday.
At http://data.overheid.nl (overheid is Dutch for gov) a CKAN instance is
now in use. There is no team or plan for broader roll-out at the moment it
seems, but the first milestone has been created anyway.
2) In response to the PSI Directive public consultation Dutch gov has
registered their official stand point: anything that is public info, should
be reusable by default. Gov will not enforce their copyright, only charge
incremental costs of distribution, and prefers completely open licensing of
information and data alike.
