When a .gov Becomes an .org

When techies (the ones who developed Login.gov among other things) get fired from their government jobs, a website is sure to follow.

Here is how 18f.org begins:

“For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving you to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.

“However, all employees at 18F – a group that the Trump Administration GSA Technology Transformation Services Director called “the gold standard” of civic tech – were terminated today at midnight ET.”
