In the open government movement, there are few “makers” of the caliber of Josh Tauberer. Josh built GovTrack, one of the world’s most visited government-transparency websites, and is leading the way to open government via automation and syndication. His format for compiling and sharing information about legislators and legislative actions is the model for government transparency websites around the world. Even the House Democratic Caucus uses GovTrack as an internal tool for tracking legislation. Josh also collaborated with and built the technology used by fellow 2013 Fastcase 50 winner, Marci Harris of POPVOX.
