Public sector teams must go beyond the in-house or off-the-shelf dichotomy to take advantage of open protocols, which offer a unique way to manage both software costs and geopolitical exposure
Nice post and definitely a trend to watch... note there are definitely protocols that haven't really seen a ton of adoption like the World Banks open contracting standard. That said I definitely like this trend and vision and want to help bring it about. Makes a lot of sense. I don't think purely open though will be the answer. To use an open source example and mathematical analogy, rather than purely open software the way of the future will involve clopen set like tools similar to the Apache foundations airflow tooling who's initial direction largely came out of Airbnb's workflow orchestration workflows
Fair. Skin in the game in the early life of a protocol is an underrated success variable. I still think it can exist in purely open protocols though it's just harder to engineer without commercial incentives. Bitcoin comes to mind.
