  Not that they're necessarily talking to each other about PR in the tech community, but looks like maybe the British Gov is trying to attract some talent and get devs engaged. Maybe they just want it improved for free :-p

    Make a commit to save some memory which allows them to expand their criteria which leads to your arrest for thought-crime.

    GCHQ / CESG have been putting details of some of the tech they work with on their public webpage for a few years now. https://www.gchq-careers.co.uk/about-gchq.html https://www.gchq-careers.co.uk/about-gchq.html https://www.gchq-careers.co.uk/departments/technology-and-engineering.html https://www.gchq-careers.co.uk/departments/technology-and-en... The "applied research" is interesting: https://www.gchq-careers.co.uk/departments/applied-research.html https://www.gchq-careers.co.uk/departments/applied-research.... I think the internet archive has some older pages with relevant information. If this is GCHQ it's gently worrying - a github profile is pretty low on my list of what I want in the way of transparency and accountability.

      It seems like they are making a recruitment push (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2435685/gchq-is-using-graffiti-to-find-hipster-coders http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2435685/gchq-is-usi...) and are trying to repair their reputation a bit.
