Just for context, that system lists what might be approved for installation on Government Furnished Equipment. It doesn't mean anyone will use it.

I work for the US EPA, speaking in my personal capacity.
We have a Github, but in a lot of ways it feels kind of like an archive. Does anyone have feedback on how it can be made more useful? We have all the authority to be good OSS community members.
Maybe if we were to prioritize like general purpose libraries instead of just our super domain specific projects?
EPA | IT Cybersecurity Specialist | Durham, NC (telework & possibly full time remote) | $113-147k
EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment.
EPA deals with sensitive information, for example criminal investigations for polluters, and the business secret formulas for cleaning products which are evaluated for safety. EPA also has systems that must be online during radiation or environmental emergencies.
We are seeking cybersecurity professionals to aid keeping our systems secure.
New policy has allowed hiring of fully remote employees. Please ask the recruiter in the listing or during your interview.
I have have enjoyed working at the EPA (US Government) as an IT Specialist.
The good parts are working with people passionate about their jobs, on things that truly matter. Work life balance and management trust is very high.
The bad parts are there as well: outdated technology, lots of committees, long processes to do certain things. Pay is less then I could get in industry.
Mixed bag: Not a "fast to fire" environment. Ethics/values are very high but that doesn't automatically mean good management. You need to meet and work with a lot of people.. but people are very open to collaborating.
I have heard that the government in a way is supposed to be the "model employer"; kind of being an example to others in terms of diversity/inclusion, time off policies, benefits, etc. And I think is that sort of true at least at this agency.

This code.gov initative comes from Obama-era push to use/release open source, but the attention now seems to be on data (data.gov) and ai (ai.gov)
