The U.S. Digital Services Playbook

You can already see them sitting in meetings for months discussing each bullet point on the playbook, getting nothing done.
I think it would be worthwhile to read instead of "throw away the fucking playbook" site unseen
"In particular, digital services teams should consider using open source, cloud based, and commodity solutions across the technology stack, as these solutions have seen widespread adoption and support by the most successful private-sector consumer and enterprise software technology companies."
Note "open source." I doubt that companies like Microsoft and Oracle are very pleased to be reading this directive.
If the directive is taken seriously by government agencies, especially by DoD, the benefits could be very large, I daresay even transformational for the open-source ecosystem and the companies built upon it.
Not seriously enough IMHO, but I was using open source in my job as far back as 2006, on gear that wasn't even that new.
Wish the back button worked. This whole section is comprised of good points, so it's a shame that this simple brochure site doesn't follow.
