The Open House Project and The Open Senate Project are policy-oriented projects of the Sunlight Foundation that aim to work with Congress in advancing their use of technology in the interests of transparency. The bipartisan collaborative of policy wonks, technologists, government staff, librarians, bloggers advocate for straightforward technological reforms to make access to government information more meaningfully accessible to the public. The Open House Project released a report in May 2007 and the Open Senate Project aims to release a report in 2009. They share a mail list.
The OpenGovData group is for broad policy-level discussion of data openness issues (beyond the U.S. federal level). The group formed out of a meeting in 2007 in which 8 Principles of Open Government Data were written down as a guide to what constitutes openness for public government data.
White House 2 is where citizens are coming together to imagine how the White House might work if it were run completely democratically by thousands of people over the internet. Individuals can set the nation's priorities, collaborate on policy and talking points, etc.
Free Sheet Music is where people look for music and get the free sheets they are looking for. Nice resource.
