Thanks for sharing.

Now, for a completely different mention of 18F (saw it a few days ago)...

Ha.  Good catch.   

Every project at 18F is API-centric and that matters, but yes actually - that piece on Yoz (one of the 18F team based in the San Francisco office) is something else entirely.   We are super proud of him for the work he does in government and out.

Nice piece - thanks for the share. It's a great hill we are climbing to change public perception of government as a whole.

FYI: I have seen a lonely ping pong table in the wild down in the GSA basement gym waiting to host a tournament - it's BYOB (bring your own ball - and paddles).

I join in the congratulations! Well done, and well-deserved recognition!

 

Which brings me to a question I’ve been struggling with… Those offices—cool! Projects—way cool! People too, obviously. But specifically how were you able to create the team? We’re in the government, afterall, and at some point we have to firm-up position classifications…

 

If you really want to change government one agency at a time, can you help a fella fellow Fed out? Would you mind sharing the Position Descriptions (PDs) of these positions?
