Fed 2.0

The O’Bama administration has demonstrated a surprising commitment to cloud-based or SaaS computing with Apps.gov; the portal that makes cloud-based services such as Google Apps available to federal agencies. The extent to which agencies will take the administration up on its challenge is open to debate: making technology available is not enough to change government culture. But the fact that the administration was willing to to put its money where it’s mouth was says a lot.  Overall Apps.gov seems like a worthy follow up to such innovations such as Congress.org and the steady march of appellate court opinions available in RSS-friendly .xml format. Suddenly I have hope for the future of government.
