I had a front row seat to watch 18F get started a dozen years ago by some of the smartest and most dedicated public servants I’ve ever met. Their work saved countless lives, and yes, hundreds of millions, probably billions, of dollars. But just as significantly: it made government more responsive.
The work that I led at 18F I naturally feel was really important (I hope all 18Fers felt the same way about their work): codifying the procurement principals that we’d all identified there over the years. I thought this would have a tiny audience. Instead it became a foundational text.

I just came out of the first Aurora Meetup hosted by Will Hearn (SSC) and Simardeep Singh(HC), it's an exciting platform that has the real potential to improve how GC hosts services

The meetup was a refreshing look at the underlying tooling and tech that will be used to build the solution
