The tech industry is eagerly awaiting Barack Obama's promised appointment of a chief technology officer for the federal government. The proposed tech czar would, in Obama's words, "ensure that our government and all its agencies have the right infrastructure, policies and services for the 21st century."
Government Executive's Allan Holmes spoke recently with the nation's first and only federal CTO to date, Norm Lorentz, who served as technology officer for the Office of Management and Budget from 2002 to 2003. Lorentz discussed where the new CTO might come from, what his or her skill set should be, and what challenges lie ahead in reforming the government's outdated tech practices.
Read the full interview here, and read what craigslist founder Craig Newmark told NationalJournal.com yesterday about the new CTO position here.

There are many kinds of replica watches uk on the market. Some of these can be called “counterfeit” because it uses propriety logo, brand, and design of a legitimate company. The looks and angles of these counterfeits can look so similar to the authentic ones that it may sometimes be difficult to tell the difference. However, discerning connoisseurs can always tell at a glance from the materials alone.
