Luke Fretwell is one of the most creative and pioneering people I've met in open source. He's enjoyed a 25+ year career that has covered multiple projects, collaborations, and businesses. The through-line for all Luke's projects has been making government better through technology. Luke created GovPress, a very popular WordPress theme focused for governments. He built Proud City, a WordPress-based SaaS service for government. His latest work includes ScanGov to track the quality of government websites, and Proudly Serving, a collectively written playbook that helps governments build people-centered digital public services.LukeFretwell.com: Luke's personal site.Govfresh.com: Luke's consultancyProudCity.com: a WordPress-based platform for local governmentsProudlyServingBook.com: local government digital services handbookScanGov.org: Government digital experience monitorChatcivic.ai: Government AI chatbotsTimestamps:02:53: The Journey from Journalism to Technology10:15: Connecting Technology and Government12:09: The Birth of GovFresh16:12: Launching Proud City24:27: Navigating the Government Market24:55: Navigating Government Procurement Challenges28:05: Innovating in Government Tech: The Innovator's Dilemma29:28: Introducing ScanGov: A Civic Tech Initiative36:13: The Future of Civic Tech and Open Source41:24: AI in Government: ChatCivic and Its Potential53:17: Civic Leadership and Influential Voices
