Now I am understanding what happened with the ACA website. nationofchange.org/diagnosing-online-health-exchange-debacle-proprietary-software-needs-dose-open-source-1382800248. This paragraph sort of sums it up: . . . in 1996 Congress lobotomized itself by getting rid of its technology think tank, called the Technology Assessment Office. So when they’re writing bills, they don’t understand the technology that they’re requiring in their laws. This is what you get when you have a Congress that is basically brainless on technology, and government who can only pick from a few old, stodgy contractors. You’re bound to have this result. And, in fact, the standings group came out earlier this week and pointed out that over—for all procurements over $10 million, 94 percent of them fail. The bottom line is open source is where the action is, where the talent is, where WE THE PEOPLE need to be, sharing and helping each other. As usual I am asking myself what can I do, whats in front of me to do, how can I contribute to a better world, how can I BE THE CHANGE and stop finding fault and expecting someone else to do what needs to be done.
