The US government today announced the release of the source code of data.gov, built with Drupal. Governments worldwide can use this code to create open data portals. The US government and the government of India will develop the code together to build the Indian open data portal.

Nice!
I saw this come down the tubes today, and it's pretty awesome news. It's yet another Drupal platform hosted outside of Drupal.org, and while I assume that there was no way around that, it's still a bit disappointing that we aren't able to compete with github when it comes to hosting Drupal distributions...

Efforts to bring it back to Drupal.org
At the moment it looks like the distro built for/by the Government of Canada to meet it's Web Experience Toolkit for extra accessibility & usability is going to be released on Drupal.org:

GitHub is pretty sweet, but so useful to have it all tied to d.o.
I wonder how progress has gone on Unicorn, Pegasus & Pegacorn as described in Chicago:

Would be interesting to know if there are any efforts that can be made to lure more distro's back to Drupal.org. I'm more concerned with stray modules as they can't be tied into catch security upgrades.

Up for testing it
we have installed OpenGov yesterday for testing, at first glance the distribution 6.2 is asort of specific modules that turns Drupal as a powerful Documents Management System. A minimal SQL scheme is furnished for running the distro.
OpenGow is The Toll ! Welcome to Data Management System!
Kudos

Where did it go?
I couldn't find https://github.com/opengovplatform/opengovplatform when I looked for it earlier today. Did someone remove it? Had someone forked it first?

Re: Where did it go?
There is an updated GitHub link from one of the Open Government Platform sites.

Anybody get Drush to work on this?
Are you trying to use drush
Are you trying to use drush to install the opengov platform or use drush within it after it has been installed?
