This program seems aimed at bringing in some of those kinds of people to government agencies: http://www.whitehouse.gov/innovationfellows http://www.whitehouse.gov/innovationfellows
I think I've seen a few of them posting on HN, but I can't remember who. They seem to be especially pushing to get things like data.gov working in a modern way.
- 5vforest 13y agoFWIW I was one of the fellows, and happy to chat about it if anyone's interested. (contact info in my profile) if anyone wants to help us fix the broken procurement policies that lead to systems like the one described in the article, let's talk too :)
