### Draft-notes - page 7

* tests and TDD to be how teams communicate
* apply TDD and DevOps to Government work
  * this is how Gov should work, ship early and iterate
* Idea of reducing and refactoring all actions and risk into one Number
  * shows all players (staring with the board) what is the current status


* 3 big technological changes that will happen in the next decade

 * age of availability (vs age of ownership)
 * age of sustainability (local factories and manufacturing)
 * distributed per-to-per transportation networks (uber for packages)

* A key theme of these ideas is that we are taking about control
  * the question is if we want that control to exist in a top-down workflow (which is what have now and will have even more in the future), or if we want that control to be distributed through society, to selected individuals/organisations that are capable of handling that power (introducing checks and balances)

* Creating of an Open Source SAST engine would be a great project for PT (involving all players in Software development, including Universities and Academia)

* University students and graduates are another great source of talent (and for them the projects are a great source of 'real world' skills)
  * in fact some of the proposes activities (Hacking networks/apps, transportation apps and logistics) could be done as Semester projects (and be graded based on execution)


* When I talk about opening the code, it is not just for traditional software packages. It is also for all websites that control our data and commerce

* The media needs to start adding references and proofs of the stories they publish (this needs to be in a digital format, which can be parsed and analysed)  
  * the would provide accountable for their stories and help to distinguish what is an 'opinion piece' and a 'factual news story'
  * this would also allow for offline data mining and analysis of those posts (and the statements made by those posts) and help to find gaps, better content, lies, half-truths (and the true inclination of the media outlet)
  * this can also be done retrospective, where more data is added to stories after the fact (for example when somebody makes a claim that 'xyz' will happen, it is important to note on that story, lets say a year later, if that really happened).
    * idea is to provide accountability into what is being said  
  * news stories should also have better feedback loops between their stories and their readers (which could also be tracked independently using technology developed by PT Open Source companies)<commit_msg>couple more ideas<commit_after>---

* tests and TDD to be how teams communicate
* apply TDD and DevOps to Government work
  * this is how Gov should work, ship early and iterate
* Idea of reducing and refactoring all actions and risk into one Number
  * shows all players (staring with the board) what is the current status
  * mapped to the idea of using Risk to measure quality

* process is key with technology

* Give keys to PT castle to a group of 12 (from Gov, academy and individuals) , just like the DNS did

* Create foundations (non profit entities) to control key parts of the infrastructure and workflows
  * these need to be independent and have a mandate aligned with the citizen and not with the current Government

* The 'Marginal Gains' concept as used by the GB cycling team, is the way to make big changes. By using an aggregation of marginal gains of 1% improvement on everything done, it is possible to achieve so much much that aiming for biggest changes (which are always very disruptive, and not adjusted to reality)

* insecure code epidemic is already here  
  * zombiepocalypse - only difference is that the zombies are code and not all code-zombies are active (i.e. have been 'activated')
