summary

Code for America places 20 fellows in 13 cities for a year to build open source apps inside government, attracts 360 applicants for 20 spots, pays a modest stipend and health benefits, and reports Rails adoption in local and federal agencies. Fellows work on real projects (examples include contributions to rails_admin and gems like Faraday), aim to cut DMV wait and paperwork, and the author notes a broader organizer base of 40–60k Ruby meetup members worldwide.
