Nava announcements at Open Source Summit: OSCER/Strata

Today I am at Nava PBC's (I work for Nava) Open Source Summit in Washington, DC. Nava today announced our open source Strata platform, and OSCER (Open Source Community Engagement Reporting) tool.

OSCER

A comprehensive platform for managing Medicaid community engagement requirements: built to help states implement and administer work requirements and exemption processes in compliance with federal regulations.

OSCER is a new tool for government agencies that now must require reporting of work or community engagement by HR1. OSCER is a "sidecar" app that can be deployed alongside an agencies existing systems to enable beneficiaries to easily report work activities, and agency staff to review/validate/process that data. There are well-documented integration touchpoints that make it easy to initiate the workflows and processing the outputs.

OSCER is built on Strata:

Strata

Nava Strata is a modular, open-source platform that enables our government partners to rapidly and effectively modernize while avoiding vendor lock-in.

Strata is Nava's new platform for building government solutions more quickly, and provides pre-built workflow and interaction components for various common tasks in benefit systems.

Nava Strata currently includes:

Infrastructure templates: A set of templates for quickly setting up production-ready, cloud-native infrastructure

Application templates: A set of templates to quickly begin building user-facing and backend applications

Software Development Kit: A suite of composable software development tools for building human-centered digital services applications

Omnivore - open source "read later" site and app

I was introduced to Omnivore.app by someone on Mastodon (can't find the reference now, but thanks whoever you were)!

Omnivore is a "read later" app like Pocket, but free to use and open source. I've found the website to be well done, though there are some issues right now:

  • The iOS app freezes pretty often, so I do most of my reading on my Mac
  • The Firefox extension is easy to use but the "set labels" feature doesn't seem to work, and I general want to label/tag everything.

Christian Clauss is working on moving pytatsd to Github actions for automated testing and builds https://github.com/sivy/pystatsd/pull/109 #python #statsd #opensource


Wow, I've been a terrible #opensource maintainer... I need to re-familiarize myself with pystatsd https://github.com/sivy/pystatsd/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+sort%3Acreated-asc


what do you call it when a company releases an open source lib to access their closed platform #opensourcedoorbell
