As previously mentioned, these 2 bills might be of interest to many on this list.
Open Data: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2011/HB0310.html Public Hearing: 2/10/2011 11:00 AM Open Source: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2011/HB0418.html Public Hearing: 2/10/2011 11:30 AM Both on 3rd floor of Legislative Office Building (behind gold domed building), room 306. Anyone interested in speaking as a concerned citizen is more than welcome, especially since public demand does helps convince people especially on these sorts of bills without much public input otherwise. Even just an short email in support can be very effective. Email: ~houseexecutivedepartmentsandadministrat...@leg.state.nh.us (whew, long email address) If you plan on attending either hearing (being one right after the other, likely both), let me know, and what, if anything, you plan on saying, or if you merely want to watch the proceedings, that's fine too (more than fine... just having folks attend and sign the blue sheet in support is plenty) Improvement suggestions (aka patches) are of course welcome, still.
