Can Haz Guy: USA CIO Vivek Kundra

Columnist Chris O'Brien's interview with Vivek Kundra in the San Jose Mercury News, appears in "How new CIO has brought innovation to government" . . . "a quiet revolution in the way the federal bureaucracy works that may change our view of government for the better."

Highlights include:

• successful projects: Data.gov, Federal IT Dashboard.
  
• now launching Apps.gov.
  
• arriving at SJM News offices with no entourage!
  
• Kundra drove himself around Si Valley in a rental car.
  
• employing agile software, rapid prototyping, cloud computing, etc.
  
• rather than waiting for perfection, Kundra launches beta versions, expecting improvements later.
  
• addressing the enormous backlog at Department of Veterans Affairs.
  
• long-term vision that people will respond by becoming direct participants in their government.
