18F - Transforming the government from the inside out #FLOSS

Montreal, April 11, 2015 - This short interview of Catherine Devlin was recorded during Pycon 2015 in Montreal. Catherine is a Python programmer and a database administrator at 18F — a team of over 100 open source consultants distributed all over the United States. This Federal agency is transforming the US government from the inside out, creating cultural change by working with teams inside agencies who want to create great services for the public based on Free and Open Source software. It makes a big difference with what happened in Quebec where the Centre d'expertise en logiciel libre (Free Software Expertise Center, @LogicielLibreQc) "was all about education, bit did not have the clout that comes with being an actual provider of desired services."

That is neither a man or a woman. It's in between. Lets defund this agency.
