[open-government] [euopendata] Polish PM "everything public and reusable by default"

[Igor Ostrowski]

Dear Jonathan,

we're working hard on the specific wording of the legislation.  Hopefully, it will be announced next week at which point we can talk about concrete legislative solutions.  In the meantime, adoption of the concept law and PM's statements created quite a stirr both in the administration and among data users:  http://politics.slashdot.org/story/11/05/27/0233251/Polands-Prime-Minister-Goes-For-Open-Government

I'll keep you posted
Igor
