Meet Ben Balter. He’s a Government Evangelist at GitHub, where he leads the efforts to encourage adoption of open source philosophies, making all levels of government better, one repository at a time. Ben was a member of the inaugural class of Presidential Innovation Fellows and also served as a Fellow in the Office of the US Chief Information Officer, helping to draft the President’s Digital Strategy and Open Data Policy. As both an attorney and a developer, he’s probably spent more time pondering and writing about Federal IT Procurement rules than most people would agree is healthy.
