A comment on Code.NASA.

It's awesome to see this posted - I was (one of) the original creators of code.nasa.gov when we first launched it in early 2012. I've since moved on from NASA, but the agency has kept on posting things to the site as well as on GitHub (https://github.com/nasa). So glad to see the torch continue to burn.

There's a big effort within the federal government to do more around engaging citizens in using (and contributing to) free/open source software, as well as starting to develop more user-centered products and services. If you're interested in that sort of thing, check out 18F (https://18f.gsa.gov and https://github.com/18F). We'd love to hear from you.

Do you still have any contacts there? I'm one of the (former) developers of vision workbench, and it's kind of a shame that code.nasa links to a fork that's almost 3 years behind (https://github.com/nasa/visionworkbench), rather than upstream (https://github.com/visionworkbench/visionworkbench). It gives the impression that it's a dead project :/

Sent you an email - a few folks over there should be able to help you out!
