You'll remember my recent posting about the fine work journalist Brenno de Winter has been doing in his spare time, bringing a little healing daylight into local government in The Netherlands. Brenno has been trying to get details of local government procurement published on the web, so that the resulting transparency can drive better decisions. Since most local authorities haven't wanted to do that, he's been filing bulk Freedom of Information requests (the Dutch abbreviation is apparently WOB) to get the data.
I donated. If you care about IT in The Netherlands please consider doing the same. I spoke with Brenno de Winter during the last Document Freedom Day in The Netherlands. He's doing fantastic work on the NOiV program (the Dutch government program that seeks to roll out open standards and FOSS throughout the Dutch governments).
