The U.S. Federal Government has made two significant steps towards greater adoption of open source. The first is the release of the Digital Services Playbook: a document that outlines how governmental institutions should use software in an agile and reusable way. The second is the launch of 18F and Digital Services: two organizations tasked with improving the digital experience of government institutions. Both of these developments demonstrate a growing desire within the U.S. Government to adopt open source technology where possible.
