COA – The New RFP to Release This Summer – That’s The Latest News
Whatever Matt Esquibel is working on, I hope it’s good and I hope it meets the expectations of the large community of developers, designers, project managers, businesses, and visionaries who are waiting to put their bids into the ring. Let’s hope they get a better than 3 : 400 ratio of returns on this one.
Mostly, I’d really like Matt, Doug Matthews and Gail Roper to ramp up the AustinGO site they already have. Post updates on the blog! Fix the RSS feed! Use the tool! As it stands what’s happening is still happening behind closed doors with a new team and the community is forced to wait for the release of the new RFP.

COA – Update on Site Process Requested – City Staff Responds
I think the OpenAustin.org is interesting, but not a viable process for something as large as the city’s website. If Whurley can come up with ONE example of a successful Open Sourced civic site that met deadlines and budgets I’d like to see it. Other than that, I think the site and further open sourcing discussions are a distraction from the business at hand.
