Acknowledgments

The road to open government is a long one, and over the years many people have contributed to and continue to define its evolution. As John Heywood said, “Many hands make light work.”

Daniel Lathrop and Laurel Ruma would like to thank all of the authors for contributing to a fascinating book. The time required to write and revise a chapter is not trivial, and very much appreciated. There were also many other people who worked on this book, including Yasmin Fodil, Sarah Granger, and Kevin Novak, who reviewed and commented on the manuscript. Andy Oram provided invaluable feedback and support. At O’Reilly, Audrey Doyle, Sarah Schneider, Nellie McKesson, Rob Romano, and Julie Steele guided the book through production.
