Federal News Radio obtained a previously unreleased memo from federal CIO Tony Scott detailing 18 milestones over the next six months to make the Login.gov platform a reality.
Two years after the administration set up two new federal "start-ups" to help agencies adopt more innovative technology, some in the public and private sectors say the U.S. Digital Service and 18F still operate in their own silos, and there is little communication from the organizations as they embark on new projects.
The Government Accountability Office will tell House lawmakers Friday that 18F is losing money and doesn’t expect to make enough revenue to cover its costs until 2019, according to testimony obtained by Federal News Radio.

Greg Godbout, who co-founded the 18F organization at GSA and was in the initial class of Presidential Innovation Fellows, is leaving government to join cBrain, a Danish software firm.
For millions of Americans, the front door to the federal government isn't the U.S. Capitol or a Social Security office. It's a website, and the experience can be frustrating. John Yuda, senior product design adviser to the Federal Front Door project tells Federal Drive with Tom Temin the General Services Administration's 18F group has been working to improve that experience.
18F released a draft RFQ and a draft of the agency's transparency policy it plans to include for its agile BPA. The announcement was made on the second day of Sunshine Week, which highlights the importance of open government.
