Agencies who open-source their entire app’s code are taking an excellent first step; the next challenge is to get the really interesting and useful code reused more readily. One way to do this is to annotate the app’s code and open source the code via functionality.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the goal behind our first Mobile Gov Code Chop Shop. We will get some sharp developers in a room, cut a federal app (or two) up into highly reusable parts, and post the (code) parts on the Mobile Code Sharing Catalog for anyone to use.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first Mobile Code Chop Shop will be on July 29th at 1800 F Street, Washington, D.C. 20405, with the focus on liberating reusable code from \u003ca href=\"https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/heatillness/heat_index/heat_app.html\"\u003eDepartment of Labor’s HeatSafety App\u003c/a\u003e.
