I blogged earlier about the possibility of Vivek Kundra becoming the new CTO of the Nation. Word today from the Washington Business Journal indicates that he’s expected to be named as the Office of Management and Budget‘s administrator for e-government and information technology.
That’s not a bad place for geospatial innovation as the Office of Management and Budget oversees the Federal Geographic Data Committee under OMB Circular A-16, and sponsors the Geospatial One Stop Initiative. As OMB administrator, he will also be responsible for the 25 e-government projects, the nine Lines of Business initiatives, cybersecurity, the Federal Enterprise Architecture, and will oversee the federal IT budget of more than $70 billion.
