A Conversation with Beth Noveck
summary
White House institutionalizes an open government directive with the nation’s first CTO and CIO, pushes agencies to publish machine‑readable data on data.gov and list reusable tools on apps.gov. Thirty agencies attend an internal brainstorming pilot, the VA runs a 19,000‑employee challenge to cut benefits backlog, and the government publishes visitor logs (~100,000 monthly) while local examples (Boston transit app, Manor, TX crowdsourcing) demonstrate practical reuse.
