Final Notes from #FOSE


I do love these recycled post it/pads. Anyway, I picked up where VA left off, leading the way with their mobile initiative distributing iPads loaded with 11 pilot apps designed for patient generated data and prescription refills. This bridges the gap in areas where doctors are overbooked or unavailable. These are developed using HTML 5, which will run on all devices. Development programs such as this may be picked up on in other agencies to increase the mobile workforce productivity. 

The final lecture was an important one. DHS representative Benjamin Scribner talked about the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Security is an important aspect for all those involved in government IT work. This framework outlines job descriptions and where Cybersecurity lies in that particular role. 
Bridging the gap and furthering this are the efforts of the 2010 White House initiative NICE. National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education and the NICCS portal. Tons of free, publicly available resources for good practices. 



Meanwhile, after I wrote this entry and watched an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm with my proper shoes resting on an ottoman, this slob in short pants is spread eagled across from me with one foot up on the silver table diddling his device. How very attractive.
