I'm looking forward to the #MOSA Summit this week! Of all the good MOSA things, what jazzes me up the most about MOSA is the drive for open standards. While in the Air Force, I’ve watched programs get vendor-locked behind proprietary systems and data rights, with contractors charging the government exorbitant prices while slow-rolling modernization efforts. Nothing kills innovation faster than a “you’re stuck with us” contract. I hate that. That’s not right for the warfighter, and it’s not how we’re going to keep pace to win the future fight. One of the reasons I chose to join Defense Unicorns was the company’s dedication to the "open" spirit. The founders recognized the harm that vendor-lock can have on our national security systems, and they chose to combat that by making our core UDS platform open-source software. For real. Steal our code: https://lnkd.in/gw2nPsEw UDS aligns with multiple government reference architectures and is delivering modern software to missions today. I love that. If you’ll be at the MOSA Summit this week, let’s meet up! Shoot me a DM or just look for me IRL. (p.s. I have a beard now.)
