Subject: CIO Council--Some Not so Good News
Hi Folks, I thought I would send along an FCW News item: Bush rescinds order that created CIO Council http://www.fcw.com/article94533-05-16-06-Web&newsletter%3Dyes I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions. Definitely Unwonderful. Now, lessee, in whose interests would it be for Executive Branch CIOs to be unable to communicate regularly across agency boundaries? Hmmmnnnnn. I wonder if this is linked to recent developments like the closing of the FEAPMO, Federal Enterprise Architecture Program Management Office, in favor of CORE.gov? Who needs enterprise-wide, branch-wide thinking, when you can concentrate on a bunch of nifty gadget-features called components? Who cares if they are compatible? Who cares if they support open standards? Who cares if they steal taxpayers blind? They're really, really cool features. Just sign right here and take ownership of the whole pig,lipstick and all. Oh, by the way, we'll be making this obsolete next year, but don't worry, we'll have a whole buncha new features, just look em up in that there list. Don't worry about how to connect em all up. We'll take care of that next year, too, for just a few bucks more, of course. Methinks we need to find ways to shine some light into some back rooms and turn over a few rocks to see what crawls out from underneath. Can anyone say Enron? Sheesh!
