California Child Welfare Digital Services (CWDS) is one of the largest and most progressive state government technology projects in the United States. CWDS is developing a suite of digital services Web applications to provide case management, facilities licensing, and related capabilities to social services practitioners who assure the safety, permanency, and well-being of children at risk. CWDS demonstrates the viability of solutions researched, designed, and developed by public employees. Applications developed by CWDS are free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). This presentation describes why CWDS chose free software, how the project is helping to modernize government processes such as procurement, recruiting, legal services, and the utilization of agile methodology, and how other projects can leverage CWDS software, methodology, and lessons learned.
+We're updating the popular 150-page Introduction to the Command Line. What do you think should be in the new edition? We'll be discussing content and process for updating this important work. +
+A product of a partnership between the FSF and Floss Manuals, this book gives new computer users a gentle, beginner's window onto Bash, vim, a few scripting languages, and other key tools offered on the Unix/GNU command line. A lot has happened since the book was released in 2009. We want to include new developments without substantially increasing the length of the book.
