Timely...

Only a week after we launched a call for suggestions of Senior, Open
Scientists here:
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-science/2013-April/002422.html

The Whitehouse (US) is now 'Seeking Outstanding “Open Science” Champions of
Change'
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/05/07/seeking-outstanding-open-science-champions-change

...asking for your help to identify “Open Science” Champions of
Change—outstanding individuals, organizations, or research projects
promoting and using open scientific data for the benefit of society. For
example, a Champion’s work may involve:


   - Providing free access to data or publications generated from
   scientific research; or
   - Leading research that uses publically available scientific data.

Anyone can nominate an “Open Science” candidate for consideration by May
14, 2013 (under “Theme of Service,” choose “Open Science”).

See their website for more details. Great to see Open Science being
nationally recognised and rewarded!
