US Government Sets Up Online "App Store"
krapper writes "The Obama administration has unveiled a government 'app store' designed to push the federal bureaucracy into the era of cloud computing. The change means some federal employees will begin using services like YouTube, Gmail and WordPress, which store data on private internet servers instead of on those paid for with public money. The process will start small but will ramp up quickly, Vivek Kundra, the US chief information officer, said in a blog post on Tuesday. 'Our policies lag behind new trends, causing unnecessary restrictions on the use of new technology,' Kundra writes in the post on WhiteHouse.gov. 'We are dedicated to addressing these barriers and to improving the way government leverages new technology.' The app store is designed for federal employees doing official government business and is not intended for use by the public."
Now even Obama knows about Linux! I guess they had to finally admit that Windows would not be secure nor stable enough for a project of this size. By using Gmail and YouTube it is a clear admission that open source just does it better in so many instances that even the hardest lobbying can't hide.
I put email as the best way to contact me (Since I check it frequently and if I'm not available at the moment, it's less of a "Tag, you're it," issue than missing me on the phone.) Should I expect an email/call? If I don't get one soon (How long is "soon?") should I call the store and ask about it? I really do want this job.
