The Institutional Infrastructure of Government Bureaucracy

Josh, I'm truly sorry how this has unfolded for you. I made a blog post the other day about the issue in politics being not about left/right but between those who are addicted to the institutional infrastructure of government bureaucracy and those who are willing to believe in change. www.reuvencarlyle36.com is the post. I'm glad you are still advocating for open source and other IT strategies and once you are no longer a state employee I invite you to connect directly without reservation. On the good side, I had a long, serious conversation with the new director of DIS the other day who is extremely serious about a new approach--one that is less addicted to proprietary systems and 'solutions.' Now that you are no longer employed by the state, I will reach out to Goldmark directly and let him know my thoughts on the technology strategy issues we face. It drives me nuts when folks who can't turn on a computer are making multi million decisions and don't know which way is up. I wish you the best and don't ever hesitate to contact me on these and other issues. carlyle.reuven@leg.wa.gov or my blog. Your partner in service, Reuven.
