  1. What You Need to Know About The Federal CIO’s MemoA Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture Mil-OSS connects and empowers an active community of civilian and military open source software and hardware developers across the United States. This grassroots movement is a collection of diverse patriots that work for and with the Department of Defense and believe in adopting open technology innovation philosophies to effectively defend our nation. What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  2. Background Information The Road to ‘Shared First’ What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  3. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • OSS is considered “commercial computer software” and therefore allowable under the United States Code, the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and the Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) • OSS often considered “commercial off-the-shelf” (COTS) per 41 USC 403 • OSS is preferred as commercial and nondevelopmental items (NDI) “to the maximum extent practicable” under 10 USC 2377 41 USC 403; FAR 2.101, FAR 12; DFARS 212.212, DFARS 252 FAR & DFARS Regulations DoD & Service Policies Background What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  4. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • DoD Policy • 2003 OSS in the DoD (Stenbit Memo) • 2006 Open Technology Development Roadmap • 2009 Clarifying Guidance Regarding Open Source • 2010 Better Buying Power (Carter Memo) • U.S. Army • AR 25-2 p4-6 • U.S. Navy • 2007 Open Source Software Guidance FAR & DFARS Regulations DoD & Service Policies Background What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  5. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • Stephen VanRoekel • Former USAIDE (Exec. Director) • International IT Familiarity • Importance of Open Standards • Former FCC (Mng. Director) • FCC Website Relaunch on OSS Platform • API • Former Microsoft (Sr. Director) • Preceded by Vivek Kundra • First CIO, had a clean slate • Set out the 25 Points Memo The Federal CIO Abundance of OSS Cost-Effective Solutions The Value Added Interagency Sharing Re-Deployable Solutions Vendor-Neutral Why Now? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  6. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • Over half a million projects • Over 5,000 sites for projects • Over 2,000 licenses • Approx. 20% of all code is Open Source • Approx. 95% of code bases contain undisclosed OSS code • Over 50% of code bases contain unknown or reciprocal (or protective) licenses Black Duck Software The Federal CIO Abundance of OSS Cost-Effective Solutions The Value Added Interagency Sharing Re-Deployable Solutions Vendor-Neutral Why Now? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  7. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • Redundant problems should never be met with redundant problem solving • Utilizes the r3 Principle • Reuse when Possible • Repurpose when Practical • Recycle when Plausible The Federal CIO Abundance of OSS Cost-Effective Solutions The Value Added Interagency Sharing Re-Deployable Solutions Vendor-Neutral Why Now? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  8. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • Cost-Effective Development • Highly Efficient • Increased productivity • Increased innovation • Increased collaboration The Federal CIO Abundance of OSS Cost-Effective Solutions The Value Added Interagency Sharing Re-Deployable Solutions Vendor-Neutral Why Now? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  9. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • Without communities of interest around Defense-related OSS projects, they too often go unknown and unused • Improve the project by involving other-agency input and collaboration • NASA found it is easier to share agency-to-agency under OSS license than under government re-use regulations The Federal CIO Abundance of OSS Cost-Effective Solutions The Value Added Interagency Sharing Re-Deployable Solutions Vendor-Neutral Why Now? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  10. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • The military lends itself to redundant problems • Redundant problems should never be met with redundant problem solving. • Open Source enables the reuse of solutions to common problems • Adaptability to expand from a basic problem into a new solution or service. The Federal CIO Abundance of OSS Cost-Effective Solutions The Value Added Interagency Sharing Re-Deployable Solutions Vendor-Neutral Why Now? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  11. The Road to ‘Shared First’ • Readable source code makes it impossible to become locked-in with a specific vendor • Future vendor competition • Rapid deployment is a strong case in the DoD • IT tools for evolving mission solutions.

What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  12. Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture About CAFEA What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  13. Shared First ~ OSS • Common Approach to Federal EA (CAFEA) • Replaces the 2001 Practical Guide to Federal Enterprise Architecture • Released 2 MAY 2012 Policy Progressive Groundwork What is it? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  14. Shared First ~ OSS • Forward-Looking • “Future-Ready” • Keenly aware of the UK’s Open-Source First Policy Debacle Policy Progressive Groundwork What is it? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  15. Shared First ~ OSS • Not Exactly OSS Policy, but Gets Close • The ‘Principles’ Are In-Line with OSS Policy Progressive Groundwork What is it? What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  16. Shared First ~ OSS • Services should be standardized within and between agencies where possible (p14) • Data and information exchange should be based on open standards (p15) • Use well documented interfaces built on non-proprietary open platforms using standard platform independent data protocols (such as XML) (p15) • Open-source software solutions should be included in alternatives analyses (p15) • Use cloud-based application, platform, and infrastructure hosting designs whenever possible to promote scalability, cost-efficiency, and metering (p15) Principles Relevant to OSS Collaborative Planning Methodology Shared First Excerpts What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  17. Shared First ~ OSS Collaborative Planning Methodology • “CPM is structured to embrace the principles of leverage and reuse by assisting planners in determining whether there are other organizations that have previously addressed similar needs, and whether their business model, experiences and work products can be leveraged to expedite improvement.” (p16) Principles Relevant to OSS Collaborative Planning Methodology Shared First Excerpts What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  18. Shared First ~ OSS Shared First • “In alignment with “Shared First” principle, it is at this point that the planners consult both internal and external service catalogs for pre-existing services that are relevant to the current needs. In some instances, an entire business model, policy, technology solution, or service may be reusable . . . an important benefit in these cost-constrained, quickly evolving times.” (p18) Principles Relevant to OSS Collaborative Planning Methodology Shared First Excerpts What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  19. Shared First ~ OSS • Open Source advocates are not anti-competition • Other business models can be successful and effective • Best solutions come from open competition, putting all solutions on equal footing is ideal for competition • Reusing its assets before acquiring new ones is ideal for the Federal Government OSS First Best Stance Danger of OSS Only Future Policies Outcomes What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  20. Shared First ~ OSS • The Debacle in the UK • Economically harms competitors with different business models • Hampers innovation from some private-sector companies with proprietary business models. • Ties the hands of Acquisition professionals • Forces companies into a particular business model to do business with the Federal Government. OSS First Best Stance Danger of OSS Only Future Policies Outcomes What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture

  21. Shared First ~ OSS • Clearly include “Open Source” in the language • Continue to promote r3 • Work with legislators to improve code reuse OSS First Best Stance Danger of OSS Only Future Policies Outcomes What You Need to Know About The Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture
