A vision of technology in government

                       "We need to connect citizens with each other to engage them
                       more fully and directly in solving the problems that face us.
                       We must use all available technologies and methods to open
                       up the federal government, creating a new level of
                       transparency to change the way business is conducted in
                       Washington and giving Americans the chance to participate in
                       government deliberations and decision-making in ways that
                       were not possible only a few years ago."

2. Build a simple system - let it evolve

                       โ€œA complex system that works is invariably
                       found to have evolved from a simple system
                       that worked. The inverse proposition also
                       appears to be true: A complex system
                       designed from scratch never works and cannot
                       be made to work. You have to start over,
                       beginning with a working simple system.โ€

                                      small cooperating tools with
                                      standardized inputs and outputs, a
                                      philosophy that also shaped the end-to-

                                      philosophy, and the architecture based
                                      on it, that has allowed open source

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe
                       government is not to trust it all to one, but to
                       divide it among the many, distributing to
                       everyone the functions he is competent to.... It
                       is by dividing and subdividing these republics
                       from the great national one down through all
                       its subordinations, until it ends in the

  • 50. 3. Design for cooperation โ€œThe book is perhaps most valuable for its exposition of the Unix philosophy of small cooperating tools with standardized inputs and outputs, a philosophy that also shaped the end-to- end philosophy of the Internet.

  • 51. Anatomy of a Linux System Friday, July 3, 2009
