Scot Mcphee

I think the government should explore the idea of directing every government institution to consider open source software for it's IT infrastructure and even more importantly, for the government to to open FORMATS to share information. Also from the software development perspective the commonwealth ought to think about its still heavy reliance on project and engineering methodologies known and proven to fail, i.e. "waterfall" methods. The department of finance ought to stop wasting it's money on methods that simply cannot deliver quality software, and instead explore the use of Agile Methods to deliver working software sooner and cheaper to its internal and external customers.
