An insightful piece by Mike Gallagher on what it means to work in the open in the public sector.
[...] everything we work on is paid for by the public purse, making it public property [...] we need to ensure that the things we learn and make are easily accessible to all so that they don’t need to be re-learned or re-made, unnecessarily draining limited funding. Making our work open to everyone is a civic responsibility and a contractual obligation.
[...] since early on in the UK public sector’s adoption of contemporary methods of digital delivery, organisations have taken up blogging as a means of sharing what they’re learning and building community.
