Making things open since 2011
Six years ago today (or thereabouts)

None
Coding in the open
From solr to elasticsearch https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2012/08/03/from-solr-to-elasticsearch/
Content delivery in code https://gdstechnology.blog.gov.uk/2015/08/12/configuring-content- delivery-in-code/
Introducing new databases
Every decision shapes culture
Refusing to mandate technologies was deliberately counter- cultural

@jystewart
We can’t continue the stasis that’s been the status quo
Teams, tools and partners must embrace change
Agility requires visibility & repeatability. (and ownership, automation, open standards,
…)

things Make open, it makes things better Embrace transparency &
own your trade-offs
Agree outcomes, devolve decisions
Builds teams that can engage vendors as peers
Invest in communities and partnerships
Reflect, learn, adapt. Together.
You begin by making the new tool fit the old
way of working, but then the tool changes how you work. Benedict Evans, A16Z http://ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2017/7/13/creation-and-consumption
Software as a public service
