Code.gov: Missing Some Stuff
November 9, 2016
I love US government Web sites. They come and then they fade. The new kid on the block is Code.gov. The idea is that the US government has created a portal for open source software. Here are the entities whose code is available to anyone able to navigate to this link.
- Agriculture
- Commerce
- EPA
- Energy
- Executive Office of the President
- GSA (home of 18F)
- Labor
- NASA
- National Archives and Records Administration
- OPM (yep, the security conscious folks)
- Treasury
- Veterans Affairs (what are you looking at, cupcake?)
I did notice some interesting gaps; for example, does the Department of Defense have open source software? Well, maybe not. We do include a pointer to more than 100 useful programs in the forthcoming Dark Web Notebook. Want to reserve a copy? Write benkent2020 at yahoo dot com and we’ll put your name on the list.
