What's interesting about this? Am I missing something?
- danso 13y agoI think it's interesting because it's a position for ostensibly advancing the U.S. government's open data initiatives, and the skills they foresee as being necessary (Python, Postgres, PHP, among others). Besides that, I'm kind of curious as to what it's like to be in a non-traditional tech role in the government, and one that almost seems likely to cross into political territory.
- zephod 13y agoIt's just a software engineering job to work on their CKAN+Drupal stack (Python and PHP, respectively). Basically there's nothing political about it. Source: I work in a similar team on data.gov.uk.
