US Digital Team Reaches Across Pond to Share Code, Best Practices

The federal government’s in-house geek squad is strengthening ties with similar innovators overseas as part of an “ongoing digital partnership” between the US and the United Kingdom, Obama Administration officials announced.

As part of the expanded effort, the Administration plans to send members of the US Digital Service, including Administrator Mikey Dickerson, to the UK to meet with their British counterparts in the Government Digital Service there. The US and UK digital teams are also now sharing open source code they develop as part of their digital projects.
