Transparency is so '08: Why treating data as code & collaboration are the next frontier for open gov

Question: Open government is a great first step, but how can we push towards collaborative government, the world's largest and longest-running open source project

Background

• What differentiates open source from transparency is collaboration: the essential promise that you can see the underlying source code and make things better.
• PDF of excel spreadsheets are technically transparency, but that's really not good enough.
• A central promise of open source is not just to see the process, but participate and be able to modify source
• Nothing -> FOIA -> Open Gov -> (Collaborative Gov?)

GitHub for Government

What is GitHub

• GitHub is a social network for software developers
• GitHub is a social layer built on top of a long-standing open source project called Git.
• At its most basic level, Git simply tracks who made what change when
• Used by many popular open source projects, bulk of technology you touch on a daily basis built on our platform
• While it was originally used for collaborative software development, and still is, the collaborative workflow is equally applicable to countless applications including modern open data and open government efforts
• GitHub hosts projects, commonly referred to as repositories
