Using rules
as code to help bridge the gaps between policy creation, its
implementation, and its, often unintended, effects on people was the
subject of a talk by
Pia Andrews on the first day of the inaugural
Everything Open conference in Melbourne, Australia. She
has long been exploring the space of open government,
and her talk was a report on what
she and others have been working on
over the last seven years. Everything Open is the successor
to the
long-running, well-regarded linux.conf.au (LCA); Andrews (then Pia Waugh) gave the opening keynote at LCA 2017 in
Hobart, Tasmania, and helped organize the 2007 event in Sydney.
