The document discusses NYC DoITT's efforts to increase open source collaboration and civic engagement. It outlines a new process for developing and deploying open source projects that includes discovering promising open source apps, streamlining development and testing, recruiting open source talent for collaboration, and openly releasing code. Key aspects of this new process are civic sandboxes to reduce barriers to testing solutions, recruiting talent, a project collaboration extranet, deploying projects in public cloud infrastructure, and openly releasing code in public repositories to propagate reuse and innovation. An example project of developing an open rulemaking app using this process is provided.
