18F's website has been removed. Hours after the staff was laid off, the whole damn site is gone, including hundreds of blog entries and essential resources. The entire De-risking Guide that I wrote, vanished from the internet.

Hey, somebody registered 18F.org. It has "A letter to the American people." 18f.org
18F: We are dedicated to the American public and we're not done yet

For over 11 years, 18F has been proudly serving the American people to make government technology work better. We are non-partisan civil servants. 18F has worked on hundreds of projects, all designed to make government technology not just efficient but effective, and to save money for American taxpayers.
