Sharing America's Code
summary
Federal policy now requires government-wide reuse and at least 20% of custom code released publicly; Code.gov becomes the central hub. The Pentagon publishes AET (Advisor Network), a tracking CRM rebuilt by Defense Digital Service on GitHub and built in 14 weeks, used in Operation Resolute Support (≈13,000 troops) in Afghanistan. Sensitive data stays on a classified server while the app is released as open source, and the deployed beta successfully reduces duplicated training.
