What's New?
The Open, Accessible Digital Workspace (OADW)?
The team will develop an integrated network of universally accessible digital services that enable government and partners to share information and work together to create a better future for the people we serve. This transition will make it easier for employees, teams, organizations and partners to work together and reach their goals by providing the best access to the people, data, information and tools they need to do their jobs with excellence. Note that Project Meerkat is no longer the project name.
OADW Updates
- Message is the GC's new instant-messaging platform, and it has gone international! Join the #Gov-as-a-platform conversation to chat live about the OADW and related projects (including your own - we want to hear from you).
- Shout out to Michael Karlin from Canada’s AI Team for testing Message with us. First impression? “It had all the functionality my team needed right away … it’s a really good messenger app. Awesome job, team!”
- In the last month, 3000 members joined GCcollab. Check out the user stats.
- The DCD team is testing WeKan, an open source Kanban board application for project management. Learn more on our wiki. If you are testing project management tools, let us know in the #Gov_as_a_platform chat on Message.
- Our latest UX session was at the GC's Innovation Fair, testing out icons for the future workspace. Read about the UX team's experience and learn more about the team.
- We are looking for a new name! If you want to work with us on rebranding the open and accessible digital workspace (which is no longer called Project Meerkat), please contact Heather.Laird@tbs.sct-gc.ca or @hslaird.
