@CDS_GC's GCNotify shows what a small team can do to make services a little better and more transparent; and to help the rest of the civil service work a little better, faster, easier.
Government's toolkit matters.
Congratulations, team 💥🎉
Love that @acroll raised the @CDS_GC's implementation of the UK government's open source Notify service. Great that Catherine Luelo responded back with a description of a system which allows users to own their data. Sounds like #Estonia to me! #FWD50#GCNotify
Small world! Just found out the US VA project I'm working on uses a fork of @CDS_GC GCNotify as part of the back-end flow. Feels really awesome to see our work helping even more folks!
The #GCNotify team is humble and laser-focused on their users, so they’re not likely to get excited about order-of-magnitude milestones, let alone send up fireworks. But I’m shameless, and super proud. Way to go team!! I promise to leave you alone til 500. notification.canada.ca/

And yet this make work project will still be leap years behind a critical mass, globally proven, full Open Source, WCAG compliant, multilingual and platform agnostic WebForm management platform already in GC for years... already integrated with GCNotify. @DrupalWxT Just sayin
2/3 But it’s also my last day @ServiceCanada_E I’m heading back to @CDS_GC on Monday to work on #GCNotify, a platform tool we used a bunch with Service Canada Labs for sending emails.
Great article by @mwedgar that explains what is done behind the scenes to determine the topics of the Get updates on COVID-19 (Email Service) messages sent using the GC Notify System.
Pairs well with a hot beverage! 😉

A cool example is a module I wrote to connect Drupal to GCNotify, which is a service based on the notifications.service.gov.uk… service which was open sourced. The sky is the limit when we work together.

This 👇🏻. Helped #NovaScotia stand up our service in less than 48 hours, and save thousands of provincial staff hours by avoiding unnecessary admin burden. Amazing things happen when we collaborate #CDS#GCNotify#NSDS
