On Her Majesty's Digital Service

This blog post is mainly an excuse to use the pun in the title. It’s also an opportunity to tell folks that don’t already know I’ll be starting a new job on Monday working for the UK Government. I’m going to be work for the Government Digital Service, a new department tasked with a pretty wide range of sorting the Government out online.

The opportunity is huge. And when it came around I couldn’t turn it down. I’m going to be working with a bunch of people I’ve known and respected for a while, as well as other equally smart people. That means I’m going to be back in London again as well.

Hopefully I’ll be able to talk lots about what we’re up to. The groundwork for that has already been laid by the alpha.gov team who have been blogging furiously about topics of interest.
