Thanks for sharing this. I also saw the G8 Open Data Action Plan at
http://www.etalab.gouv.fr/article-french-prime-minister-releases-the-g8-open-data-charter-action-plan-for-france-121016042.html

Very underwhelming. Seemed to be 'open data by default' in name, but not
really doing anything new. And no mention of company data, which is one of
the high-value datasets listed on the G8 Open Data Charter
