GovStack has released a version 1.0 of the GovStack Framework.

The Framework is a guide for governments and their institutions for onboarding digital services and interconnecting them - and it's a promising boost for Open Source (which in this context is often called Digital Public Goods).

Pieces are falling into place. Those pieces are called "Building Blocks" and there are now 9 specifications of how such components should interact.

Myth about #FOSS: proprietary software is always better quality.

Proprietary vendors often force upgrades, leaving old versions unsupported with potential security flaws. #Opensource communities can continue support, and patch bugs for all versions of their code.

@randfish @lindzie @everywhereist This type of encounter is one of the wonderful experiences of emerging world commerce. I make a 1/2 day to visit the main local market on each trip. It helps me understand what is naturally and readily available for ICT4D solutions which locals can fully own, integrate, and maintain. And I meet so many wonderful people! #ict4d

Nikola Tesla recognised that technical innovation can be detrimental to social progress. He did not believe that making things convenient and efficient was as valuable as solving social, moral and spiritual problems.
