http://www.ictparliament.org/node/763
The OSDV Foundation mission is to create publicly owned transparent, trustworthy voting technology for any U.S. elections jurisdiction. The social entrepreneurs behind this effort firmly believe that U.S. voting systems and related technology is tantamount to “critical democracy infrastructure,” and as such it must be completely transparent and publicly owned. The OSDV Foundation mission is executed under an open source mandate, meaning all work is done through a collaborative, open volunteer community to ensure complete transparency, public review, comment and participation. <h3 class="location-locations-header">Location</h3>
