# Code-gov

Code-gov is a redux project aiming to replicate the functionality provided by code.gov. This site aims to provide a software inventory and informational resource about open source projects throughout the federal government.
Code-gov replicates the functionality provided by code.gov. This site provides a software inventory and informational resource about source code repositories throughout the federal government.

This site is populated through GitHub actions and Python scripts that save data that is used by a static eleventy site that replicates the functionality of the old code.gov.

This strategy serves to create a responsive agile site that reduces costs while providing a valuable resource on government code repositories.

This is accompished through the code.json metadata standard.
This site is populated through GitHub actions and Python scripts that save data used by a staticly generated eleventy site. This strategy creates a responsive site that reduces costs while rebuilding a valuable resource on government source code, accomplished through extending the code.json metadata standard established by M-16-21.


## What is Code-gov?

Code-gov is a github pages site that provides an inventory of federal government software projects. Similar to the previous iteration of code.gov developed and maintained at GSA. Unlike the previous version however this version is a static github pages site populated by GitHub action workflows that call Python scripts.

## What are the features of code-gov?

1. Open Source metadata

Code-gov hosts open source metadata for projects at many agencies throughout the federal government. This metadata has lots of different elements such as license information, labor hours worked, and the URL at which the project is primarily hosted.

2. Federal Open Source Policy Compliance
2. Federal Source Code Policy Compliance

The site encourages developers that develop code for the Federal government to abide by Federal policy regarding source code. Key policy in this regard includes [OMB Memorandum M-16-21](https://www.opm.gov/about-us/open-government/digital-government-strategy/fitara/memorandum-for-open-source-software-policy/) as well as the [SHARE IT Act](https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/9566).

The site provides a Searchable catalog that allows users to see an inventory of Federal source code. This allows for users to find existing projects for their use cases such as contributing and finding similar existing work.
The site provides a searchable catalog and inventory of Federal source code, allowing users to locate existing projects for contributing, reuse, and market research for procurement.

4. Encouraging Public Contributions

The site allows developers, businesses and citizens to view and assist with open issues and problems present on Federal open source projects.
The site helps public sector, private sector, and the general public to browse open issues present across all Federal repositories across the code-gov inventory.

5. Supports Innovation

Facilitates collaboration between government agencies and the tech community to improve public services.
Facilitates discovery and collaboration between government agencies and the civic tech community to improve and reuse public code.


## Who is code-gov for?

# Community

The ospo-guide team is taking a community-first and open source approach to the product development of this tool. We believe government software should be made in the open and be built and licensed such that anyone can download the code, run it themselves without paying money to third parties or using proprietary software, and use it as they will.

We know that we can learn from a wide variety of communities, including those who will use or will be impacted by the tool, who are experts in technology, or who have experience with similar technologies deployed in other spaces. We are dedicated to creating forums for continuous conversation and feedback to help shape the design and development of the tool.

We also recognize capacity building as a key part of involving a diverse open source community. We are doing our best to use accessible language, provide technical and process documents, and offer support to community members with a wide variety of backgrounds and skillsets.

### Community Guidelines
