        • BetterBuy Project

          Awesome ideas from the Govloop Acquisition2.0 Group led to the www.betterbuyproject.org platform asking the public for ideas on how the gov could use collaborative technology to make the federal acquisition process more open, collaborative and participatory. Over 130 ideas were submitted, then evaluated and applied to two GSA acquisitions (data.gov and ClearPath) that included posting RFIs on a wiki (http://betterbuy.fas.gsa.gov) for public comment, using Twitter to update procurement status and share info, and eventually using web chat to host industry days. The BetterBuy concepts can be applied to numerous government business areas.

                          TeamPatent is an online collaborative word processor and drawing editor (like Google Docs) to write patent applications and file them with the USPTO. A typical application has several hundred references (figure references, part references, callouts, claim references, and claim terms) and keeping them in sync is currently done manually at great expense. TeamPatent ensures all these requirements are satisfied, saving 4-5 hours of attorney time. The USPTO currently takes three years to review an application; TeamPatent can also be used through examination, streamlining the process.

                                  Bubbleideas has been designed to leverage decision-making for national or state leaders. Based on social web, bubbleideas treats negative & positive inputs in equal light so that leaders can see what's rocking and what sucks.

                                  Since Gov 2.0 deployments are likely to be large scale, BubbleIdeas employs Natural language Processing to locate near-duplicate ideas, lowering human effort significantly.

                                  Bubbleideas brings power of Public APIs to Governance so that the developer community can create & pro-create downstream applications.

                                  We launched only yesterday; do give us a look.

                                  Thanks,
                                  Team BubbleIdeas

                                      • EPA Lifecycle Building Challenge http://lifecyclebuilding.org

                                        This online crowdsourced international green building competition is a virtual library of visionary submissions on designing buildings that are adaptable, reduce waste, reduce GHG emissions, and create local deconstruction and reuse jobs.

                                        The project has changed the way buildings are being designed and resulted in new green building rating system credits.
