So much! Working in partnership with the Netherlands (and others!) on a re-build of the core collaboration platform. A whole-of-government design system. The launch of GCmessage as a Government-wide instant messaging and team chat platform. A single sign-on solution and the integration of GCcollab and GCconnex into a single platform. Spending another year with this amazing team.

In late 2017, TBS posted (on GitHub) a draft white paper, ''Open First'', to inspire the new Enterprise Architecture Review Board (EARB) in setting baselines for open standards and open source software. These standards would influence procurement, as well as the development of a digital strategy, to promote the adoption of open standards and the use of open source software. I hope 2018 will be the year we see news that the GC is adopting open standards, strongly encouraging departments to use open source software, and releasing as much code as possible under open source software licenses.

'''Who are you and what do you do?'''
My name is Joy Moskovic and I am currently on assignment with the Information and Privacy Policy Division in Treasury Board but spent seven of the past eight years working on Communications and Community Engagement with the Digital Collaboration Division. This meant I promoted usage and uptake of the GCTools, communicate new features and issues, set up learning sessions, offered strategic advice and guidance and helped connect users to the GCTools communities.
'''What is a highlight/special achievement from the last year?'''
It was exciting coming back after a year away and to see how much the team had grown, filled with new people, skills, and knowledge. What stands out from the past year, ironically, because I am actually quite introverted, was whenever I got a chance to connect with people face-to-face, hear their stories and help them explore how GCTools could enable and improve their work. Really seeing the tangible connections, you realize the impact our work is having on others. We are just scratching the surface with this and it is exciting to see where we are going next.
'''What is a lesson from the last year?'''
The biggest lesson from last year is how much we still have to learn. We are starting to get into things that didn’t even exist a couple years ago. Exploring how we can better use AI, UX design, data and open source approaches to enhance our work. With each of these comes a steep learning curve but also a new horizon of possibilities.
'''What are you excited about for the coming year?'''
Even though I am currently on secondment with another team, I will still be a very active user! The GCTools are a part of me, and stepping back gives me the perspective of a user and how the GCTools meet (or sometimes don’t meet) specific business needs. I will be keeping a close eye on my Digital Collaboration Division family. I am excited to see how we integrate the GCTools more deeply into how public servants do their work and the resulting culture change this will enable. With the growing focus on UX design and using data, I am looking forward to seeing the tools evolve to become more intuitive and user friendly. 2018 is going to be a big year for the GCTools and the Digital Collaboration Division!<br>
