| Sumario: | Despite failing to win an appointment as the director of the U.S. Government Printing Office, Carl Malamud is determined to make accessible the public information generated by the federal government. A teacher, journalist, and technology entrepreneur, Malamud strongly favors the free and collaborative approach to the Internet demonstrated by open-source applications and tools, such as Linux, and has worked at the helm of Public.Resource.org to make copies of laws, court documents, and other government materials freely available. He is already working to win the support of law schools, judges, and other stakeholders for a proposed online platform that would enable public access to federal, state and local laws, judicial rulings and briefs, congressional transcripts, and more. Malamud hopes that his work can prompt a movement that will work to firmly establish as a U.S. principle that laws are accessible to anyone.
