Welcome to the Montgomery County Collaboration Tools Site
This is a government site. If you have been granted access as a fellow developer and/or consultant, please remember everything you do is subject to the Freedom of Information Act and the various statutes relative to abuse and misuse of government resources. You are welcome here, but abuse is prosecuted.
No anonymous access is granted and no aliases are allowed. You will only be granted access if your email address is confirmed AND you have identified yourself. If you do not wish to reveal your true identity, you have no business on a government site anyway. Please do not attempt to create a sock puppet or anonymous account. It will be deleted.
MontCo leverages Web 2.0 (Social Networking) both as a constituent information/service vehicle and for Information Technology development and implementation.
This site was established to facilitate and document the collaborative tools used by the County and partners.
There is an ever-growing resource guide here, but the core set is:
- MediaWiki
- Bugzilla
- MailMan
- SVN
- Ubuntu (OS)
All projects and implementations at the County mandate the use of collaborative development. See details here.
