<p>Artificial Intelligence is moving from possibility to practice, and the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s recent program, “<em>AI Governance Gets Real: From Buzzwords to Business</em>,” made that shift unmistakably clear. With Congressman Don Beyer and Trustible’s Gerald Kierce opening the discussion, followed by industry leaders from Leidos, Marashlian &amp; Donahue, and Mobomo, the morning centered on a single question: <strong>How do we build and deploy AI that people can trust?</strong> </p>



<p>The answer, as the panel made clear, isn’t simple, but it’s becoming increasingly urgent.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/11/nvtc-panel-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-454341" srcset="https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/11/nvtc-panel-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/11/nvtc-panel-300x200.jpg 300w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/11/nvtc-panel-624x416.jpg 624w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/11/nvtc-panel.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p><strong>AI Trust: More Urgency, Less Alignment</strong></p>



<p>Congressman Beyer described himself as a “huge AI optimist,” especially in areas like healthcare, yet acknowledged that public trust remains fragile. The skepticism today centers on three consistent fears:  </p>



<style>
ul.post-454338-decimal {
    list-style-type: decimal !important;
    margin-left: 40px !important;
}

ul.post-454338 {
    list-style-type: disc !important;
    margin-left: 40px !important;
}

ul.post-454338 {
    list-style-position: outside !important;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}
ul.post-454338 li {
  padding-bottom: 15px;
}

</style>
    <ul class="post-454338-decimal"</li>
      <li>Loss of jobs</li>
      <li>Rapid environmental impact of expanding data centers, two thirds of which are located in Virginia</li>
      <li>The specter of super-intelligent systems that trigger pop-culture anxieties about runaway machines</li>
    </ul>



<p>The result is a landscape where organizations want to adopt&nbsp;AI&nbsp;but&nbsp;consumers&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;feel protected, and frameworks are still catching up.&nbsp;Still, Beyer’s optimism remained clear, particularly in healthcare. He pointed to AI’s extraordinary potential to accelerate medical research, uncover new biological insights, and drive down costs across largescale systems like dialysis and medication management.&nbsp;As Beyer noted,&nbsp;<em>“there has been a massive business imperative for cybersecurity…but no parallel&nbsp;ramp up&nbsp;for AI trust.”</em>&nbsp;Early federal efforts, from NIST’s emerging frameworks to evolving executive orders, signal progress, but&nbsp;not&nbsp;consensus.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With no short-term federal solution on the horizon, states have begun to take the lead. California already sees&nbsp;these as&nbsp;legal issues, while others&nbsp;lag behind. Meanwhile, companies&nbsp;aren’t&nbsp;stepping back from AI;&nbsp;they’re&nbsp;simply pushing forward without consistent guardrails.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Transparency is Becoming Non-Negotiable</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Beyer pointed to the AI Transparency Act as one of the emerging paths forward. The central requirement: organizations must&nbsp;disclose&nbsp;how their models are trained, what data feeds them, and how outputs are&nbsp;monitored&nbsp;for safety.&nbsp;</p>



<p>That kind of transparency is the precursor to what Beyer described as an AI safety label; a concept still in development but increasingly expected. Today, information flows more readily to national security agencies than to Congress. In the future, transparency will need to be democratized, not centralized.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Fastest Movers Will Shape the Standards</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Recent realignments in federal procurement signal a shift toward rapid development and iterative delivery,&nbsp;especially&nbsp;in&nbsp;defense and national security programs. Agencies are being pushed to modernize faster, and that acceleration places pressure on governance processes.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Beyer expects NIST’s work to evolve into a trust certification parallel to FedRAMP, providing organizations with a recognizable unified approach to responsible AI.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Northern Virginia region, he emphasized, is uniquely positioned to lead. With Amazon’s relocation and a dense concentration of technical talent, NOVA could become a national center of gravity for AI trust.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Panel Perspectives: The Path from Governance to Practicality&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Following the fireside discussion, the panel shifted to the realities of building responsible AI inside large organizations. </p>

<p class="indent-right-40"><strong>Leidos: Governance at Scale</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="indent-right-40">Geoff Schaefer outlined Leidos’ multi-year journey to create an AI governance framework built on four pillars: </p>



 <div class="indent-right-60">
    <ul class="post-454338"</li>
      <li>Visibility across all AI use cases (Leidos currently has around 300 use cases) </li>
      <li>Cross-disciplinary executive oversight</li>
      <li>Cross-disciplinary executive oversight</li>
      <li>Pattern-based governance to streamline controls across hundreds of similar use cases</li>
    </ul>
 </div>



<p class="indent-right-40">With more than 600 expected AI&nbsp;use&nbsp;cases&nbsp;next year, a scalable model&nbsp;isn’t&nbsp;optional –&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;an operational necessity.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="indent-right-40">Attorney Brian Alexander described how organizations begin their governance journey:&nbsp;establishing&nbsp;context, building diverse governance teams, creating structured intake processes, and reducing silos between legal, compliance, privacy, and technical groups. Many organizations have governance “pieces,” he noted, but lack integration, especially as AI&nbsp;use&nbsp;cases multiply.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="indent-right-40"><strong>Mobomo: Agentic AI and the Future of Product Development</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p class="indent-right-40">Mobomo&nbsp;CEO Brian Lacey brought a product-builder’s&nbsp;perspective, emphasizing that clients increasingly ask for one thing: Use AI to build products faster, more efficiently, and more intelligently.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="indent-right-40">Mobomo&nbsp; integrates&nbsp;AI into its human-centered design process through rapid prototyping with Claude, using AI to generate proto personas that deepen understanding of user jobs and motivations. Internally,&nbsp;Mobomo&nbsp;develops lightweight AI&nbsp;tools&nbsp;to support research, sales, and operational workflows.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="indent-right-40">In Mobomo’s work, responsible AI begins at the design phase: documenting decisions, identifying data considerations, evaluating model options, and assessing risk early so transparency is baked into the product’s foundation. </p>



<p><strong>Agentic AI: A Workforce Multiplier Comes into Focus</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>One of the most forward-leaning themes of the morning centered on agentic AI: systems that can&nbsp;take action&nbsp;autonomously on behalf of a user.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Schaefer described agents as the “form factor that will finally push AI forward.” Unlike traditional AI tools that require prompting, agents will&nbsp;operate&nbsp;continuously, running in the background, completing tasks, and augmenting human capability at scale.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>For&nbsp;organizations&nbsp;the size of Leidos, this&nbsp;represents&nbsp;a profound shift, a potential “force multiplier” that could effectively double operational capacity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But with that opportunity comes risk.&nbsp;Liability&nbsp;for agentic AI systems, panelists agreed, will&nbsp;largely fall&nbsp;on the organizations that deploy them. As agents gain autonomy, legal and compliance teams must evolve just as quickly as developers. Questions about authorization, decision making boundaries, and contractual responsibility will&nbsp;shape the next generation of&nbsp;AI governance.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Innovation and Governance&nbsp;Aren’t&nbsp;Opposites,&nbsp;They’re&nbsp;Interdependent&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Throughout the discussion, one consistent thread&nbsp;connected&nbsp;every stakeholder, from policymakers to engineers: speed must be matched with structure.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Risk must be understood, measured, and contextualized rather than assumed. Standards like ISO 27001 and the emerging ISO 42001 provide familiar, auditable scaffolding for organizations who need to incorporate AI into their security posture. And in product development, responsible AI begins at the design phase: documenting models, assessing data flows,&nbsp;identifying&nbsp;risks, and being transparent about limitations.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Innovation without governance is reckless. Governance without innovation is stagnant. The leaders who thrive will be those who strike the balance.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>If there was&nbsp;a defining&nbsp;energy in the room, it was momentum. AI is accelerating, policy is evolving, and organizations across industry and government are searching for a path that enables transformational capability without compromising trust.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mobomo&nbsp;was proud to&nbsp;join this conversation and connect with leaders who are working to advance safe, transparent, and human-centered AI.&nbsp;As agentic AI begins moving from experimentation to enterprise deployment,&nbsp;Mobomo&nbsp;remains&nbsp;deeply focused on designing systems that augment human capability and embed trust at every stage, from design to deployment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of October 2025, Mr. Bigden steps into this leadership role after years of transforming how Mobomo delivers digital solutions for our federal and commercial customers.</p>



<p>Since joining Mobomo in 2018, Mr. Bigden has redefined what delivery excellence looks like. He built our PMO from the ground up, launched company-wide project management initiatives, and embedded PMP methodologies across our contracts, driving greater velocity, transparency, communication, and alignment with customer goals.</p>



<p>But what truly sets Mr. Bigden apart is his investment in people. He created Mobomo’s mentorship program and opened it to everyone in the company. He’s led professional development workshops, built knowledge-sharing groups that break down silos, and continually steps up to coach PMs on strategies that move projects forward while helping colleagues grow. His belief that good enough is never enough and growth is something that never stops, has enabled him to cultivate a culture of continuous self-development across the organization, empowering people to improve in service to our clients and give back to Mobomo simultaneously. He believes every person is essential and deserving of success in both their personal and professional lives; each support the other and are not at odds. Success in both leads to growth in both and more engaged individuals.</p>



<p>He’s earned deep respect from our customers. One shared: “Fred has been exceptional in responding to our needs…He sets expectations and boundaries that match the language of the contract. He has also been a pleasure to work with.”</p>



<p>Mobomo CEO Brian Lacey shared, “Fred represents the best of Mobomo: collaborative, mission-focused, and constantly elevating those around him. His leadership has directly shaped our company’s delivery excellence, and this promotion reflects both his individual accomplishments and his impact across the organization.”</p>



<p>As Mr. Bigden recently remarked, &#8220;Throughout my career, I’ve carried with me a powerful piece of advice from a former CEO of Accenture. When I asked him about the key to success and reaching the heights he had achieved, he simply said: <em>“The secret is to surround yourself with great people. If you can do that well, you can’t help but be successful and reach where you want to go.”</em> That insight has stayed with me ever since. It’s become part of my professional DNA. At Mobomo, those words aren’t just inspirational; they’re actionable. Here, we hold each other accountable, support one another, and pass that same mindset on to the next generation of leaders. I truly believe that Mobomo is building something exceptional; not just a company of great people, but a team with extraordinary capabilities. Together, we’re redefining what delivery looks like in today’s ever-evolving landscape. It’s an honor to be entrusted with this new opportunity, and I’m excited to continue this journey with all of you.&#8221;</p>



<p>Holding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration with a minor in information systems, and a concentration in management from Bridgewater College, Mr. Bigden is a certified Project Management Professional, Scrum Master, and SAFe 5.1 Scrum Master. Before joining Mobomo, he led large-scale transformation efforts at Celerity, Infinitive, and Accenture.</p>



<p>Please join us in congratulating Mr. Bigden on this well-deserved promotion!</p>

<p>At Drupal GovCon, Mobomo’s Director of Technology, Dan Narkiewicz, and Senior Software Engineer, Stephen Mustgrave assembled a panel of government developers, contributors, and community leaders to explore an often overlooked truth: the public sector is one of Drupal’s largest stakeholders. Federal and state agencies rely on Drupal to power mission-critical platforms, yet they face unique barriers when it comes to giving back to the open-source ecosystem that sustains their work.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The discussion revealed how government needs quietly but profoundly shape Drupal’s evolution, from accessibility requirements and security mandates to governance practices that influence how modules and features mature. Panel highlights included: </p>

      <li>Understanding the two-way impact: government needs inform Drupal’s roadmap, while Drupal’s innovation strengthens government digital services</li>
    </ul>



<p>For agencies, contributing to Drupal isn’t just about code. It’s about stewardship, resource management, and ensuring long-term sustainability of the very tools they depend on. The panel underscored that government involvement in open source is not optional, it’s essential.&nbsp;</p>

By leveraging the Tome module for static site generation (SSG), USA.gov created a model that blends flexibility, performance, and security for one of the government’s most heavily trafficked websites.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jacob’s presentation, <em>The Best Drupal is No Drupal</em>, highlighted how decoupling core functions into managed services allows editorial work to happen in a lean, dedicated Drupal instance, while the public-facing site is generated statically and served via CDN. The result: faster load times, stronger resilience, and lower operational overhead. Key insights from the session included: </p>

      <li>The critical role Tome plays in producing a fast, compliant, low-maintenance site</li>
      <li>Practical challenges such as managing build times, bridging feature gaps, and overcoming common SSG hurdles</li>
      <li>The importance of combining custom code and third-party services to close gaps in the SSG ecosystem</li>
      <li>Actionable patterns for architecting next-generation, high-performance Drupal platforms</li>
    </ul>



<p><strong>The takeaway for agencies is clear: Drupal doesn’t always have to be everywhere at once.</strong> By strategically decoupling, agencies can achieve the compliance and editorial flexibility they need while delivering a site that is globally performant and secure.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>For federal and state digital services teams, this model offers a blueprint for balancing scalability with sustainability, proving Drupal’s greatest strength may come when it powers the platform behind the scenes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At Drupal GovCon, Perry Brown tackled a challenge that every stie builder and content team knows too well: image chaos. Mismatched crops, clashing styles, and an ever-growing media library can quickly turn a polished site into a virtual junk drawer.</p>



<p>Perry’s session, From Mess to Masterpiece: Taming Images in Drupal the Thoughtful Way, offered a roadmap for bringing order and intention to how Drupal manages visual content. His approach goes beyond design tweaks, it’s about creating a system that improves both user experience and editorial workflows. Key strategies shared include:</p>



<style>
ul.post-300482 {
    list-style-type: disc !important;
    margin-left: 20px !important;
}

ul.post-300482 {
    list-style-position: outside !important;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}
ul.post-300482 li {
  padding-bottom: 15px;
}

</style>
    <ul class="post-300482">
      <li>Designing a flexible system of base image styles that work seamlessly across devices</li>
      <li>Using smart cropping and aspect-ratio variants to repurpose content effectively</li>
      <li>Applying art direction to control focal points and maintain context</li>
      <li>Providing responsive image options to let the browser optimize delivery</li>
      <li>Organizing images into reusable, purpose-built view modes</li>
      <li>Auto-generating image derivatives at upload for efficience</li>
      <li>Simplying the media library with taxonomy-powered virtual folders</li>
    </ul>



<p>What stands out is the balance between developer control and editorial ease. The session underscored that thoughtful image handling isn’t just a technical nicety; it’s a cornerstone of accessibility, performance, and long-term site governance.</p>



<p>For public sector teams, these practices are especially relevant. Federal and state agencies manage vast repositories of visual content, where efficiency and clarity are critical. By adopting strategies like those Perry outlined, agencies can reduce editorial friction, improve user trust, and deliver digital experiences that are consistent and resilient.</p>

<p>Federal agencies are no strangers to cyber threats, but the complexity and frequency of bot attacks have escalated dramatically. A recent incident encountered by one of our customers highlights how even with industry-leading cloud infrastructure and content delivery networks, malicious actors are finding new ways to break through. By sharing this story and strategies that worked, we hope to arm federal IT and security professionals with actionable insights to stay ahead of evolving threats.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>The Evolving Threat Landscape</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Cyber adversaries today are no longer hobbyists; they’re often well-funded, well-organized, and in some cases, state-sponsored. As described by <a href="https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/global-russian-hacking-campaign-steals-data-from-government-agencies?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TechRadar</a>, one such campaign known as <em>RoundPress</em> was attributed to Russian state-backed actors. These attackers exploited vulnerabilities in webmail platforms to infiltrate governments and military agencies across the globe.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Meanwhile the use of generative AI has opened a new front in cyber deception. According to a report by <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/malicious-actors-using-ai-pose-senior-us-officials-fbi-says-2025-05-15/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reuters</a>, the FBI recently warned that malicious actors are using AI-generated audio and video to impersonate senior US officials, an alarming development aimed at phishing sensitive information from government personnel.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Case Study: A Federal Agency’s Strategic Response</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>One of the agencies we support recently faced a surge in traffic to their public-facing site. At first glance, the traffic appeared random, but a closer look revealed something more nefarious.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Traffic logs showed a flood of requests from a narrow set of IP addresses, linked to U.S.-based cloud infrastructure.&nbsp; The attackers had deployed a sophisticated disguise: each request masqueraded as a different device by generating thousands of randomized user-agent strings, many completely fabricated combinations of device types and browser versions that don&#8217;t exist in the real world. This digital camouflage was specifically engineered to slip past traditional security filters that rely on identifying known bot signatures. It&#8217;s a textbook advanced bot attack: rapid, obfuscated, and evasive.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Recognizing that IP-based blocking would be ineffective&nbsp; against this type of attack where IP addresses can be rapidly rotated, the team took a different approach. Through careful analysis, they identified the underlying patterns within the seemingly random user-agent strings discovering that despite thousands of variations, the attackers were actually using a limited set of device types and browser versions mixed together. Armed with this insight, they customized the Akamai Site Shield configuration to detect these specific patterns in the malformed user-agent strings, successfully filtering out malicious traffic while maintaining access for legitimate users.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>The Enduring Threat of DDoS: Old Tactics, New Tricks</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>While bot attacks are becoming more nuanced and evasive, they are also being deployed in more traditional ways such as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. In these scenarios, large networks of compromised devices, known as botnets, are coordinated to flood systems with traffic in an attempt to exhaust bandwidth, crash applications, or take services offline. What makes today’s DDoS attacks harder to detect is the sophistication of the bots themselves. Rather than sending repetitive or obvious traffic, these bots mimic legitimate users by rotating IP addresses, randomizing payloads, and encrypting traffic to avoid detection. In some cases, attackers even use reputable cloud infrastructure to deliver attacks, making it difficult to distinguish malicious activity from genuine usage. DDoS is no longer just a blunt instrument; it has evolved into a calculated tactic that can serve as a smokescreen for more targeted intrusions elsewhere in the environment. Against this backdrop of escalating threats, federal agencies need to modernize their defensive posture with a multi-layered approach.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Strategies Federal Agencies Can Use</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<ol start="1">
<li><strong>Embrace Zero Trust Architecture:&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;<br><br>Traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient in today’s threat environment. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has emerged as a powerful framework that assumes no actor (internal or external) should be inherently trusted. For federal agencies, this means verifying every connection and continuously validating user identities, device integrity, and access permissions before granting access to resources.&nbsp;<br><br>Implementing Zero Trust at scale requires a shift in mindset and tooling. Agencies should prioritize identity and access management (IAM), implement network micro-segmentation, and leverage endpoint detection and response (EDR) technologies. Adopting this approach reduces lateral movement within networks and helps contain breaches before they escalate, aligning with federal cybersecurity mandates like <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/DCPD-202100401/pdf/DCPD-202100401.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Executive Order 14028</a>.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ol start="2">
<li><strong>Implement Bot Management Tools:&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;<br><br>Not all bots are malicious. Some, like search engine crawlers or page-loading bots used by large language models (LLMs), serve useful purposes. These types of automated traffic, while often detected as bots, are legitimate and should be allowed through.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>But bad bots can wreak havoc: scraping sensitive content, executing credential-stuffing attacks, or overloading systems with fake traffic. These bots have become increasingly sophisticated, often mimicking legitimate users by rotating IP addresses, randomizing user-agent strings, or operating through residential proxies to evade detection.&nbsp;<br><br>Bot management tools use behavior analysis, machine learning, and fingerprinting techniques to detect and mitigate unwanted traffic in real time. Federal agencies should evaluate solutions that can distinguish between helpful and harmful bots, adapt to evolving evasion tactics, and preserve a seamless experience for legitimate users. The goal isn’t to block everything; it’s to know what’s coming through the door.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ol start="3">
<li><strong>Monitor Continuously and Share Threat Intelligence:</strong>&nbsp;<br><br>Cybersecurity isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it operation. Agencies must monitor their networks, applications, and endpoints continuously to detect anomalies and respond swiftly. Tools like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems allow real-time visibility and correlation across complex environments.&nbsp;<br><br>Equally important is collaboration. As legacy programs like CISA’s EINSTEIN are phased out, agencies are turning to more modern, dynamic approaches such as the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. CDM provides tools for real-time asset visibility, vulnerability management, and threat response, offering agencies a more flexible and proactive defense model.&nbsp;<br><br>Agencies can also strengthen their resilience by engaging with public-private partnerships like the Information Technology Sector Coordinating Council (IT-SCC), which fosters information sharing and cybersecurity best practices. Looking ahead, CISA’s development of the Joint Collaborative Environment (JCE) aims to further enhance collective defense through shared situational awareness and threat intelligence. As attacks grow more sophisticated, proactive monitoring and coordinated defense remain essential pillars of national cyber resilience.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ol start="4">
<li><strong>Fortify your APIs:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>API’s are the connective tissue of modern government digital services, and that makes them a high-value target for adversaries. Attackers increasingly exploit vulnerable or forgotten APIs to bypass front-end protections, exfiltrate data, or inject malicious commands. The risk is especially high with “rogue APIs” (interfaces that are unmonitored, deprecated, or created outside of centralized governance processes).&nbsp;<br><br>Recent insights from the <a href="https://federalnewsnetwork.com/federal-insights/2025/03/dod-modernization-exchange-2025-akamais-stephen-ringo-on-securing-rogue-apis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DoD Modernization Exchange</a> underscored the need for full API visibility and governance across the enterprise. Whether using commercial API gateways or internal tooling, agencies must inventory all APIs, enforce consistent security policies, and monitor behavior for unusual access patterns. Rate limiting, token validation, and real-time analytics can help prevent abuse. API governance should be treated with the same urgency as endpoint and network security.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Conclusion</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sophisticated bot attacks aren’t going away; but with smarter tools, collaborative threat sharing, and adaptive defense strategies, federal agencies can outpace even the most advanced adversaries. The key is to move beyond static defenses and adopt agile, behavior-based approaches that evolve with the threat landscape.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>When the bots come knocking, you don’t need to panic. You just need to be prepared.  </p>

<p>Mobomo has recently been targeted in a disturbing scam that preys on job seekers. A growing trend called a <strong>”task scam”</strong> involves impersonators who claim to offer work-from-home jobs, then request cryptocurrency “deposits” or “investments” from victims under false promises of high-paying remote work. We want to be absolutely clear:</p>

    <ul class="post-300482">
      <li>Mobomo will never ask applicants to pay money, make investments, or purchase equipment at any stage of the hiring process</li>
      <li>Mobomo recruiters will never be aggressive and/or pushy – we believe hiring is a collaborative and respectful process – not a high-pressure sales pitch</li>
      <li>Mobomo does not use WhatsApp or similar messaging apps for recruitment – all communications are conducted through official channels</li>
      <li>All Mobomo email addresses end in “@mobomo.com” – we do not use domains like  “mobomo.store” or other lookalikes</li>
    </ul>



<p>We are sharing this post to protect our community, raise awareness, and outline how to recognize and report these scams.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>&#x1f6a9; What’s Happening</strong></p>



<p>Over the past few weeks, several individuals have contacted us about fraudulent outreach by someone claiming to represent Mobomo via WhatsApp. The tactics used include:</p>



<style>
ul.post-300482 li.normal {
  font-weight: normal;
  padding-bottom: 15px;
}
</style>
    <ul class="post-300482">
      <li class="normal">Claiming to be from a staffing agency working on Mobomo’s behalf</li>
      <li class="normal">Claiming to be a Mobomo employee offering a remote position</li>
      <li class="normal">Offering compensation (commissions for example) to optimize site features for a site  that doesn’t share the .com url, or the legitimate company, Mobomo.com.</li>
      <li class="normal">Asking applicants to pay an &#8220;investment&#8221; fee to proceed</li>
      <li class="normal">Using aggressive language to pressure targets into quick action</li>
    </ul>



<p>One individual recently reached out through our website to share screenshots and report a scammer who grew aggressive when they hesitated. Thanks to the warning banner we placed on our site, they paused and verified before taking further action. That tells us the message is getting through — and we hope this post will help it go even further.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>&#x2705; What Mobomo Is Doing</strong></p>



<p>We are taking this situation very seriously and have taken the following corrective action:</p>



<style>
ul.post-300482 li.normal {
  font-weight: normal;
  padding-bottom: 15px;
}
</style>
    <ul class="post-300482">
      <li class="normal">Reported the scam to the <strong>FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)</strong></li>
      <li class="normal">Added a <strong>prominent warning banner</strong> to our website</li>
      <li class="normal">Alerted internal teams to <strong>remain vigilant and report suspicious behavior</strong></li>
    </ul>



<p>We’re committed to doing everything we can to protect job seekers and stop this fraudulent activity.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>&#x1f512; How to Know It&#8217;s Really Mobomo</strong></p>



<p>If you&#8217;re exploring career opportunities with Mobomo, here’s what you can expect — and what should raise red flags:</p>

<p><strong>&#x1f4a1; Related Scam: Cryptocurrency Job Fraud</strong></p>



<p>This scam follows a broader pattern the FBI has warned about, involving fake job postings, online “training,” and escalating deposit requests – often using cryptocurrency. Initially, victims may be allowed to withdraw small earnings to build trust. Over time, larger deposits are required, accounts are frozen, and the scammer disappears with the funds.</p>



<p>For further details on this scam model and how to protect yourself, we encourage you to read the FBI’s official alert: &#x1f449; <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/victim-services/national-crimes-and-victim-resources/cryptocurrency-job-scams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FBI: Cryptocurrency Job Scams</a></p>

<p>&#x1f575;&#xfe0f;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f;<strong> Spot the Red Flags: How to Identify Fraudulent Branding and Tactics</strong></p>



<p>Scammers pretending to represent Mobomo often leave behind clues that something isn’t right. Here are common warning signs to help you identify fraudulent outreach:</p>



<style>
ul.post-300482 li.normal {
  font-weight: normal;
  padding-bottom: 15px;
}
</style>
    <ul class="post-300482">
      <li class="normal">Contacted out of the blue on WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, or other social media</li>
      <li class="normal">Approached about a job you never applied for</li>
      <li class="normal">Non-traditional interviewing (text only, interview with no video, or no interview at all)</li>
      <li class="normal">On the spot hiring with no screening or interview process</li>
      <li class="normal">Asked to pay upfront or “invest” your own money in exchange for the job</li>
      <li class="normal">Promised a salary that seems unrealistically high for the role</li>
      <li class="normal">Sent links to a company website that’s only a few months old or registered for just one year</li>
      <li class="normal">Shown branding that looks off – colors that don’t match branding colors on the official website, stolen logos, and/or fake “All Rights Reserved” statements</li>
      <li class="normal">Email addresses that don’t end in the same domain (e.g., mobomo.store rather than mobomo.com)</li>
      <li class="normal">The website is a few days to months old, and the domain was only registered for one year</li>
    </ul>



<p><strong>Remember: Real employers don’t ask you to pay them. If something feels suspicious, it probably is.</strong></p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>&#x1f4e3; How You Can Help</strong></p>

<p>Digital transformation is more than just adopting new technology—it’s about aligning strategy, improving user experiences, and ensuring long-term business impact. However, 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail, often due to misaligned strategies, stakeholder conflicts, and execution roadblocks.</p>



<p>One of our team members, Ashley Guthro, recently explored this topic in on her blog page, breaking down the role of Product Managers and Project Managers in large-scale transformations. She discusses the challenges of balancing business goals, technical feasibility, and user needs—all critical factors in ensuring a successful transition.</p>



<p>Here are a few key takeaways from her article:</p>



<ul class="post-442925">
<li><strong>Defining a Clear Vision: </strong>Successful transformation requires a well-articulated roadmap that prioritizes outcomes over features.</li>
<li><strong>Managing Complexity &#038; Stakeholder Expectations: </strong>Product Managers serve as the bridge between technical teams, leadership, and end users, ensuring alignment across competing priorities.</li>
<li><strong>Balancing User Needs with Technical Feasibility: </strong>A transformation should enhance—not complicate—the user experience, requiring collaboration between designers, engineers, and business leaders.</li>
<li><strong>Execution &#038; Change Management: </strong>Even the best strategy can fail without proper execution. Agile methodologies, iterative rollouts, and structured change management are essential.</li>
</ul>



<p>To dive deeper into these insights and explore real-world applications, check out Ashley’s full blog post <a href="https://ashleygouthro.com/2025/02/05/the-role-of-a-product-manager-in-complex-digital-transformations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>The Role of a Product Manager in Complex Digital Transformations</strong></a>.</p>



<p>At Mobomo, we’re committed to driving impactful digital transformations—whether through human-centered design, scalable solutions, or seamless integrations. As organizations navigate these challenges, we continue to deliver solutions that balance strategy, execution, and innovation.</p>

<p>When a federal agency was directed to swiftly remove specific content from its digital platforms, the challenge quickly escalated. What was initially assumed to be a minor update turned into a massive compliance effort—tens of thousands of documents across multiple systems needed review, modification, or removal. With intense scrutiny, a tight deadline, and high stakes, the agency needed Mobomo to rapidly assess the scope, deploy scalable solutions, and ensure compliance without disruption.</p>



<p>Instead of relying on a time-consuming, manual review process, Mobomo developed a streamlined approach that identified and refined the necessary content efficiently, saving the agency hundreds of hours while ensuring compliance.</p>



<p><strong>The Challenge: A Large-Scale Content Audit Under a Tight Deadline</strong></p>



<p>The first issue was scale. The agency needed to act quickly, but manually reviewing thousands of documents was impractical. Initially expecting to refine just a handful of files, further examination revealed that many more were potentially impacted. To meet compliance requirements efficiently, the customer required a method that could systematically analyze, identify, and process only the necessary content without excessive false positives.</p>



<p><strong>The Mobomo Approach: Precision, Ingenuity, and Efficiency</strong></p>



<p>To address the challenge, Mobomo developed a structured, technology-driven methodology:</p>



<ol type="1" start="1">
<li><strong>Building a Targeted Search Strategy</strong> – Engineers at Mobomo designed a scalable content processing script using AWS Lambda and S3 APIs to scan and extract text from thousands of stored documents. The system utilized structured keyword identification and pattern recognition to isolate relevant content efficiently.</li>



<li><strong>Refining Context for Greater Accuracy</strong> – &nbsp;To reduce irrelevant matches, the system leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) and contextual analysis to understand semantic relationships, moving beyond simple keyword matching to intelligently identify relevant content based on its actual meaning and context. This significantly reduced false positives, transforming an overwhelming number of initial matches into a precise, manageable subset requiring agency review.</li>



<li><strong>Iterative Collaboration for Precision</strong> – Working closely with the customer, Mobomo refined search parameters and filtering mechanisms based on iterative feedback. This process ensured that flagged content accurately reflected the intended compliance requirements while minimizing unnecessary revisions.</li>



<li><strong>Delivering a Scalable Review Process</strong> –This process enabled the customer to conduct a far more thorough compliance review than initially anticipated. Once the relevant documents were identified, the results were compiled into a structured format that allowed for rapid agency review and approval. Additionally, a caching management process was implemented to ensure content updates were reflected in real-time across public-facing systems. &nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<p><strong>The Impact: Smart Solutions for Complex Compliance Challenges</strong></p>



<p>What made this solution successful was Mobomo’s ability to think critically, adapt quickly, and implement the right tools for the job. By combining automation with structured review processes, what would have been weeks of manual effort was reduced to an efficient, scalable workflow capable of processing thousands of documents in a fraction of the time.</p>



<div class="post-441986-compliance-box">
    <h3>How This Applies to Your Agency</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>Have thousands of files to review under a tight compliance deadline?</li>
        <li>Need a way to quickly identify and remove problematic content?</li>
        <li>Struggling with false positives that make manual reviews impossible?</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Mobomo can help you bring your digital content into compliance quickly and efficiently.</p>
</div>



<p>The federal customer was able to meet their compliance deadline efficiently, avoiding unnecessary strain on internal resources. This approach not only streamlined content refinement but also established a repeatable process for future compliance initiatives.</p>

<p><strong>By Joel Schlotterer, Developer, Mobomo&nbsp;January 22, 2025</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Context: Overcoming Complexity to Build NASA’s Next-Gen Science Platform</strong></p>



<p>One year ago, I joined&nbsp;<a href="https://mobomo.com/">Mobomo</a>&nbsp;to support NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and its public-facing platform,&nbsp;<a href="http://science.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">science.nasa.gov</a>. This site serves as a vital counterpart to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.nasa.gov</a>, NASA’s flagship site, which houses broader agency information. Together, these platforms form a cohesive ecosystem, with&nbsp;<a href="http://science.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>science.nasa.gov</strong></a>&nbsp;acting as a highly specialized offshoot dedicated to NASA’s scientific missions and discoveries.</p>



<p>I joined during a period of contract transition—a time of both opportunity and challenge. The existing architecture, though technically innovative, was cumbersome and fragmented, creating barriers to collaboration and limiting the platform’s ability to grow alongside NASA’s needs.</p>



<p>Our team approached this project by stripping the problem down to its most fundamental components, asking:</p>



<ul class="post-441226">
<li>What is this platform’s core purpose?</li>
<li>What’s preventing it from achieving that purpose?</li>
</ul>



<p>At its heart, the platform needed to efficiently communicate NASA’s science while enabling flexibility, scalability, and collaboration. With massive volumes of data and content to manage, any solution had to ensure precision while remaining nimble.</p>



<p><strong>The Challenge: Overcomplicated Architecture</strong></p>



<p>At the center of <strong><a href="http://science.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">science.nasa.gov</a></strong>’s challenges was a decoupled architecture: a Vue.js frontend communicating with a WordPress backend via REST API calls. While this design was initially chosen for flexibility, it introduced significant challenges over time:</p>



<ul class="post-441226">
<li><strong>Duplicative Development: </strong>Adopting new features from www.nasa.gov required additional layers of development in Vue, slowing progress and driving up costs.</li>
<li><strong>Barriers to Collaboration: </strong>The decoupled setup required specialized technical knowledge, limiting external developers’ ability to contribute effectively.</li>
<li><strong>Scale of Complexity: </strong>The vast codebase magnified the maintenance burden of technical debt, further slowing innovation and iteration.</li>
</ul>



<p>In contrast,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.nasa.gov</a>&nbsp;was built on a native WordPress architecture that served as a kind of&nbsp;<strong>parent app</strong>—a foundational codebase that could be extended and customized for specific use cases, like&nbsp;<a href="http://science.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>science.nasa.gov</strong></a>. However, because of the decoupled architecture,&nbsp;<a href="http://science.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>science.nasa.gov</strong></a>&nbsp;couldn’t fully benefit from the shared ecosystem.</p>



<p>The disconnect was holding SMD back. It became clear that simplicity was the path forward.</p>



<p><strong>The Recommendation: Rebuilding on a Shared Foundation</strong></p>



<p>By returning to first principles, we identified the fundamental inefficiencies in the system. The solution wasn’t just to simplify—it was to rebuild&nbsp;<a href="http://science.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>science.nasa.gov</strong></a>&nbsp;as a fully native WordPress application, aligning it with the architecture of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>www.nasa.gov</strong></a>&nbsp;to unlock shared functionality and scalability.</p>



<p>This approach offered significant advantages:</p>



<ul class="post-441226">
<li><strong>Instant Feature Reuse: </strong>By treating <a href="www.nasa.gov" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.nasa.gov</a> as a “parent app,” SMD could adopt new features—like forms or media tools—without duplicative development.</li>

<li><strong>Reduced Codebase: </strong>Refactoring eliminated over two-thirds of the existing code, simplifying maintenance while improving scalability and functionality.</li>

<li><strong>Broader Accessibility: </strong>Native WordPress’s extensive documentation and community support lowered barriers for external developers to contribute.</li>

<li><strong>Expanded Features: </strong>Re-coupling immediately unlocked prebuilt tools like custom blocks developed by the www.nasa.gov team, as well as custom post types and templates.</li>

</ul>



<p>By demonstrating the tangible time and cost savings—such as integrating forms in days instead of months—we secured the necessary buy-in to move forward with this bold transformation.</p>



<p><strong>The Refactoring Process: Building for Simplicity and Scalability</strong></p>



<p>Refactoring science.nasa.gov into a native WordPress application took six months of methodical, collaborative effort. However, the process wasn’t without its hurdles. For example, handling the unique HTML requirements embedded within the science data proved challenging, as they were not fully supported by the parent site’s architecture. Our team had to implement custom escaping functions, similar to WordPress’s kses filtering, to address this issue while maintaining data integrity.</p>



<p><strong>1. Rebuilding Core Features</strong></p>



<p>Rather than blindly porting existing functionality, we re-engineered features with a focus on simplicity and alignment with the parent app. This approach reduced redundancy while maintaining the platform’s unique needs.</p>



<p><strong>2. Empowering Customization</strong></p>



<p>We introduced a robust customization framework using hooks and dynamic templating. This gave developers the flexibility to create custom content without relying on new templates or post types, avoiding unnecessary complexity in the admin interface.</p>



<p><strong>3. Streamlining Workflows</strong></p>



<p>We improved admin/frontend parity, making the platform more intuitive for non-technical users. Additionally, we centralized issue tracking into a JIRA board, replacing scattered emails and SharePoint files with a well-organized Agile workflow.</p>



<p>Despite reducing the codebase by over two-thirds, we expanded the platform’s feature set and scalability—proving that simplicity and functionality are not mutually exclusive.</p>



<p><strong>The Release: Demonstrating the Power of Simplicity in Action</strong></p>



<p>The release of the new science.nasa.gov platform was a moment of both pride and learning. Like many launches of this scale, it wasn’t without its challenges. During post-release testing, several bugs were identified—four of which were significant enough to require immediate attention.</p>



<p>However, the simplified, single-app architecture proved to be a game-changer. Instead of getting bogged down in complex workflows or time-intensive processes, our team was able to quickly identify, address, and deploy fixes. In fact, we delivered three post-release deployments on the very first day—each one resolving key issues without disrupting the user experience.</p>



<p>This experience underscored the practical advantages of the leaner system. By reducing complexity and creating a more cohesive framework, we’ve equipped NASA’s Science Mission Directorate with a platform that’s not only easier to maintain but also far more agile in the face of real-world challenges.</p>



<p><strong>The Results: A Platform Built for Growth</strong></p>



<p>The impact of this transformation was profound:</p>



<ul class="post-441226">
<li><strong>Faster Feature Integration: </strong>Features like forms, which previously took months to implement, could now be deployed in days—saving the equivalent of one full-time engineer’s workload annually and significantly accelerating project timelines.</li>

<li><strong>Improved Collaboration: </strong>The simplified architecture enabled external teams to contribute more effectively.</li>

<li><strong>Enhanced Usability: </strong>Non-technical users gained a more intuitive and efficient admin interface.</li>

<li><strong>Boosted Performance: </strong>Initial testing showed a 40-point improvement in Google PageSpeed scores for mobile, jumping from 29 to 69. This significant performance gain not only enhances the user experience on mobile devices but also provides a strong foundation for future optimization efforts.</li>

<li><strong>Future-Proof Scalability: </strong>The platform is now better equipped to evolve alongside NASA’s mission, supporting both massive data volumes and new functionality.</li>

</ul>



<p>These results show how aligning with a shared foundation not only streamlined operations but also set the stage for long-term growth and innovation.</p>



<p><strong>Reflection: First Principles Thinking in Action</strong></p>



<p>This project reinforced the power of returning to first principles. By breaking down the problem to its core elements, we were able to question assumptions and design a solution that prioritized simplicity, scalability, and alignment.</p>



<p>The success of this transformation wasn’t just in the technical execution—it was in reframing the challenge itself. By viewing&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nasa.gov/"><strong>www.nasa.gov</strong></a>&nbsp;as a parent app rather than a separate entity, we unlocked a foundation for shared innovation.</p>



<p>From adhering to NASA’s rigorous security standards to implementing complex integrations like Adobe Asset Management (DAM), every step of this journey demonstrated the value of thoughtful design and collaboration.</p>



<p>Looking back, this transformation proved that reducing complexity isn’t just about making things easier—it’s about creating the conditions for innovation to thrive.</p>



<p><strong>Takeaway: Simplicity as a Catalyst for Growth</strong></p>



<p>Refactoring&nbsp;<a href="http://science.nasa.gov/"><strong>science.nasa.gov</strong></a>&nbsp;was a lesson in how first principles thinking can transform even the most complex systems. By questioning assumptions, aligning with a shared foundation, and prioritizing simplicity, we unlocked a platform capable of supporting NASA’s mission far into the future.</p>



<p>For anyone tackling large-scale digital transformation, the lesson is clear: reduce complexity, build on what works, and always focus on the core purpose.</p>

<p>Only 23% of the most-visited federal websites meet Section 508 accessibility standards. For millions of users, this translates to daily barriers in accessing essential government services. As agencies face increasing pressure to prioritize digital accessibility, the <a href="https://federalnewsnetwork.com/it-modernization/2025/01/five-takeaways-from-gsas-latest-section-508-assessment/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">latest General Services Administration (GSA) assessment</a> underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions. How can your agency break this trend and lead in digital accessibility?</p>



<p>Partner with Mobomo to create digital experiences that are visually compelling, inclusive, and compliant with accessibility standards like Section 508 and WCAG. Accessibility goes beyond compliance; it’s about creating digital spaces where every user can thrive. Here’s how our approach aligns with and addresses the critical findings from GSA’s 2024 assessment.</p>



<p><strong>Accessibility Expertise from Start to Finish</strong></p>



<p>GSA’s report highlighted increased hiring of Section 508 program managers and the need for dedicated accessibility resources. At Mobomo, accessibility is integrated into every phase of project execution. Our 508-certified practitioners ensure compliance isn’t just a requirement—it’s a fundamental principle that guides every step. By leveraging tools like Pa11y and Siteimprove, we identify and resolve accessibility issues early, ensuring our clients’ digital platforms meet the highest standards.</p>



<p>To facilitate compliance with the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (IDEA), Mobomo ensures conformance in every area detailed in the Go Live Checklist for Federal Websites and Digital Services. This comprehensive assessment allows us to deliver a digital-first public experience. Our top-tier project team, including 508-certified practitioners, weaves 508 compliance into daily operations and all deliverables. We commit to partnering with clients to provide safe and accessible digital solutions, maintaining accessibility standards (508, WCAG 2.0, and ATAG 2.0) as part of our best practices.</p>



<p><strong>Procurement with Accessibility in Mind</strong></p>



<p>The assessment found that nearly half of agencies fail to verify the accessibility of procured digital products. This creates significant compliance gaps. Mobomo addresses this issue by embedding accessibility requirements into development contracts and rigorously testing deliverables for conformance. With expertise in reviewing Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs), we help agencies confidently procure accessible solutions that meet their needs.</p>



<p><strong>Iterative Testing for Long-Term Compliance</strong></p>



<p>GSA noted improvements in testing but flagged accessibility as often being treated as an afterthought. At Mobomo, we proactively integrate accessibility into every stage of development. By employing both manual and automated testing tools, such as the Wave Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool, we maintain continuous compliance and prevent accessibility issues before they arise.</p>



<p>As we approach product launch, we produce Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) that detail specifications on conformance to 508 standards. Our Quality Assurance 508 Testers conduct a comprehensive series of evaluations, including:</p>



<ul class="three-col-checklist">
  <li>Keyboard Access &amp; Focus</li>
  <li>Links &amp; Buttons</li>
  <li>Adjustable Time Limits</li>
  <li>Repetitive Content</li>
  <li>Content Structure</li>
  <li>Resize Text</li>
  <li>Multiple Ways</li>
  <li>Conforming Alternate Version &amp; Non-Interference</li>
  <li>Pre-Recorded Audio/Video-Only &amp; Animations</li>
  <li>Pages, Titles, Frames, &amp; iFrames</li>
  <li>Sensory Characteristics &amp; Contrast</li>
  <li>CSS Content &amp; Positioning</li>
  <li>Synchronized Media</li>
  <li>Auto-Playing &amp; Auto Updating Content</li>
  <li>Flashing</li>
  <li>Forms</li>
  <li>Images</li>
  <li>Language</li>
  <li>Tables</li>
  <li>Parsing</li>
</ul>



<p>These assessments are conducted iteratively throughout development sprints, and results from the final tests are assimilated into the ACR, which is provided to stakeholders to ensure transparency and accountability.</p>



<p><strong>Human-Centered Design for Inclusive Experiences</strong></p>



<p>Accessibility is about more than compliance—it’s about creating digital environments where everyone can engage. Mobomo’s human-centered design approach combines usability testing, inclusive content strategies, and intuitive interfaces to deliver experiences that resonate with all users. By prioritizing universal design principles and gathering real-world user feedback, we ensure our solutions are both accessible and engaging.</p>



<p><strong>Addressing Leadership and Data Challenges</strong></p>



<p>The GSA report emphasized the need for leadership accountability and better data quality. Mobomo partners with agencies to create measurable goals for accessibility, empowering leaders to prioritize and track progress. Our transparent processes and validated insights ensure agencies can rely on accurate data to inform their decisions and drive accessibility improvements.</p>

<p>The clock is ticking on Drupal 7’s lifespan, and government organizations still using it need to move fast to avoid security threats, compliance violations, and operational inefficiencies. For government agencies relying on Drupal 7, now is the time to act. This transition is not merely a necessity; it’s an opportunity to modernize systems, improve user experience, and align with the latest technological advancements.</p>



<p><strong>Grasping the Effects of Drupal 7’s End of Life</strong></p>



<p>January 5, 2025, marked a significant milestone in the retirement of Drupal 7. The platform will no longer receive community security updates or official support. This has major consequences for agencies:</p>



<ul class="post-440895">
<li><strong>Security Risks:</strong> Without community security support, Drupal 7 websites are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to the lack of security updates. This poses significant risks for government agencies handling sensitive data, potentially undermining public trust and compromising data integrity.</li>
<li><strong>Compliance Issues:</strong> Federal agencies must adhere to stringent security frameworks like FedRAMP and FISMA.  Running an outdated CMS compromises compliance, increases vulnerability, and exposes agencies to potential legal consequences.</li>
<li><strong>Performance and Scalability:</strong> As technology advances, Drupal 7 sites struggle to integrate with modern tools and systems, limiting functionality and growth potential. Upgrading to a modern CMS ensures agencies can adapt to evolving technology demands and scale efficiently.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Options for Government Agencies</strong></p>



<p>Government entities still using Drupal 7 have two primary options: migrate to Drupal 10 or purchase Extended Security Support (ESS). While ESS offers temporary protection, migration is the long-term solution that provides cutting-edge features, robust security, and scalability. Drupal 10, built on Symfony, introduces an API-first architecture, advanced administrative tools, and enhanced usability—making it an ideal choice for government agencies.</p>



<p>For additional resources on transitioning from Drupal 7, explore the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/about/drupal-7/d7eol/migration-resource-center/enterprise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drupal Migration Resource Center</a>.</p>



<p><strong>Why Choose a Certified Drupal Migration Specialist?</strong></p>



<p>As a certified Drupal migration specialist, Mobomo has helped federal agencies navigate the complexities of CMS transitions with ease. Our proven expertise ensures a seamless migration process that aligns with your goals and requirements, enabling your agency to unlock the full potential of Drupal 10.</p>



<p><strong>Planning a Migration Roadmap</strong></p>



<p>A successful transition from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 requires a clear and realistic migration roadmap. Here are key steps to guide the process:</p>



<ol type="1" start="1">
<li><strong>Conduct a Comprehensive Site Audit</strong>: Start by documenting your current Drupal 7 site’s features, custom modules, integrations, and content types. This inventory will guide your transition strategy and help identify areas needing customization or redevelopment.</li>



<li><strong>Define Migration Goals and Requirements</strong>: A CMS transition is a valuable opportunity to update workflows, improve usability, and introduce new features. Identifying specific goals, such as better accessibility or simplified content editing, will help tailor the project to your needs.</li>



<li><strong>Establish a Budget and Timeline</strong>: Migration projects require substantial planning and resources. Agencies should develop a clear budget and realistic timeline that includes not only the migration but also testing, training, and launch phases to minimize disruption.</li>
</ol>



<p><strong>Addressing Common Migration Challenges</strong></p>



<p>For agencies charting a course to migration, preparation is key. The first step is conducting a thorough audit of the existing Drupal 7 site. This involves cataloging features, custom modules, and integrations to create a comprehensive inventory of what needs to be migrated or redeveloped. Agencies should also define clear goals for the new platform. Whether the focus is on improving accessibility, streamlining workflows, or adding new features, aligning the migration with strategic objectives ensures the project delivers meaningful improvements.</p>



<p>Budgeting and timeline planning are equally critical. Migrating to a new CMS involves significant resource investment, from development and testing to staff training and implementation. A well-structured timeline minimizes disruption and keeps the project on track. It’s important to anticipate challenges, such as data migration complexities or the need to rebuild functionalities due to module incompatibility. Partnering with experienced migration experts can help navigate these obstacles efficiently.</p>



<p>While the technical aspects of a migration are critical, the human side of the process cannot be overlooked. Engaging stakeholders early ensures that everyone involved understands the project’s scope, benefits, and impact. Transparency is vital, particularly for public-facing agencies. Clear communication about the changes—both internally and externally—helps build trust and eases the transition for users.</p>



<p><strong>Leveraging Drupal’s Strengths for Government Needs</strong></p>



<p>Drupal has long been a popular CMS in government, thanks to its open-source foundation, strong support for accessibility, and flexibility. Agencies migrating to Drupal 10 will find a range of features designed with government users in mind:</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Enhanced Security</strong>: Drupal 10 offers built-in features for advanced security and regular updates, helping agencies maintain compliance with federal standards.</li>



<li><strong>Improved Usability and Accessibility</strong>: With user-centered design enhancements, the latest version supports improved accessibility and offers easier-to-use editing interfaces, making it ideal for government content managers.</li>



<li><strong>Community and Support</strong>: As an open-source CMS, Drupal is supported by a global community of developers and offers a rich array of modules and resources. Government agencies can leverage community support and vendor partnerships to maintain and extend their digital properties effectively.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>



<p>The Drupal 7 EOL deadline represents a pivotal moment for government agencies to modernize their digital platforms. By planning a thoughtful migration now, agencies can ensure that their digital services remain secure, compliant, and user-friendly. Working with experienced Drupal partners can further streamline the process, ensuring that agencies are prepared to deliver the high-quality, secure digital experiences their users expect.</p>



<p>Transitioning from Drupal 7 is more than just a necessity—it’s an opportunity for growth, innovation, and better service delivery. With careful planning and a strategic approach, government agencies can not only maintain their digital operations but also enhance them for years to come.</p>

<p>Truth in labeling is something that has been in place for food and drug products for over a century thanks to the <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Pure_Food_and_Drug_Act_of_1906" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906</a>. As consumers, we are (or should be) interested in what we are ingesting. The saying “you are what you eat” is a statement ingrained in most Americans since it was first popularized by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Lindlahr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Victor Linklahr in the 1940s</a> and most recently used as part of a title for a Netflix special. We are all familiar with the Nutrition Facts label that adorns most food products we buy at the store, which was mandated via the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/101st-congress/house-bill/3562#:~:text=Nutrition%20Labeling%20and%20Education%20Act%20of%201990%20-,subject%20to%20conditions%2C%20vitamins%2C%20minerals%20or%20other%20nutrients." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990</a>. Since its inception, it has become a trusted resource for consumers who are interested in learning more about what the products the purchase contain. Labels have been made available for a variety of products to deliver pertinent product information to consumers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>The digital content our brain consumes is undoubtedly just as important as the food we consume and products we buy. The current administration has taken steps to formalize an AI Bill of Rights and passed the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/3831/text" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI Disclosure Act of 2023</a>. The integration of Artificial Intelligence into the content we ingest online brings with it the need for transparency in communication created using AI, whether it be content, graphics, or video.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Case for AI Content Labeling</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>While it could be argued that labeling online content such as articles and their associated graphics/videos may decrease exposure for the publisher, there are far more benefits to providing a level of transparency much akin to the Nutrition Label we often see on food and drug products:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="post-436526">
<li>Consumer Trust: Consumers deserve honesty and transparency about what they are reading, viewing, or listening to and providing truth in information may serve to elevate the quality of a creator’s brand.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>Bias Awareness: Providing consumers with an understanding of whether content is AI generated can shape how much inherent bias they must account for in the consumption of said content.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>Acknowledgement of Human Input: Even in AI-generated content/media, there are human authors, editors, and/or designers playing crucial roles. Labeling clarifies the creation process without diminishing human contributions.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p>When distilling the value that labeling of AI generated information brings to the consumer, analysis leads us to the conclusion that labels empower consumers to make informed choices, and cater to the varying levels of acceptance toward AI influenced content.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Industry Leaders and Legislation&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Various companies are taking the lead in the effort to ensure the use of AI is transparent to their customers/user base. Instagram, for example, labels content generated using Meta’s AI tools automatically via “Imagined with AI” watermarks when shared to an Instagram post. This labeling requirement is limited to photorealistic video and audio files. While labeling in the United States is currently voluntary, there are states (like California, Illinois, Maryland,&nbsp; and New York City) that have put legislation in place to ensure that consumers know when they are consuming AI generated content/media. What will likely follow is federal law and it could very likely model the <a href="https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/the-act/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">European AI Act</a>, which mandates labeling of AI-generated content, with hefty monetary and administrative penalties for noncompliance. YouTube is a company that has taken a stance on this already, as violation of their AI-generated content labeling policy may result in takedowns.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The article featured in the graphic to the right provides a subtle, yet effective means of notifying consumers that the information in the article and the graphics were created with the help of AI via the use of blue labels in the byline and the upper right corner of the main picture).</p>

<p></p>



<p><strong>A New Standard in Digital consumption</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Just as we&#8217;re accustomed to scanning nutrition fact panels, the inclusion of clear AI disclosure labels will quickly become second nature for digital consumers. With transparency and public trust being paramount concerns, taking an &#8220;ingredients included&#8221; approach is well worth serious consideration.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Intro</strong></h2>



<p>With the eruption of artificial intelligence and its now widespread access, the prospect of leveraging AI support to augment the practices and processes involved in IT services becomes increasingly appealing.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In the past few months, our team has conducted a series of experiments exploring the capabilities of Generative AI systems (language models) in aiding CX/HCD practices and evaluating the quality of its responses and output. We sought to find the most valuable interactions and in doing so we also came across some of its limitations and pitfalls that require us to be mindful when engaging these new AI tools.</p>



<p>In this article, we present the highlights of the most valuable use of the tool and real examples of AI-generated responses which we graded in terms of their relevance and accuracy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Generative AI interactions</strong></h2>



<p>In the experiments mentioned above, we focalized on the scope of IT services that pertain to Customer Experience (CX) and Human Centered Design (HCD) processes, with the consideration that our federal clients and projects require adherence to the IDEA Act, 508 compliance and USWDS, among other guidelines and requirements.</p>



<p><strong>Learning Curves</strong></p>



<p>An interesting aside that warrants attention is the learning curve that our team experienced during the initial stages of our experiments. Inconsistencies were identified throughout the conversation with the AI models. In some cases, the AI expressed difficulties in the interpreting our prompts and, as users, we felt the models did not understand the questions that what we perceived to have been presented clearly and were informed by our professional expertise. Additionally, prompts that were presented as sequential questions with the intent to&nbsp; provide&nbsp; depth and context to a topic were addressed by the AI models as isolated or one-off questions that did not connect with the flow of the conversation. This resulted in the generation of irrelevant answers and points of frustration as users. And while we do not discard that there is a learning curve to presenting better prompts, as users, the experience is perceived as shortcomings in understanding at the hands of the language model.</p>



<p>We were able to bridge these issues by improving our prompts and creating an introductory statement with a formula that proved effective: “You are &#8211; describe the persona &#8211; of a/ in a &#8211; describe the context &#8211; that &#8211; describe the activity, client, destination -. &#8211; Elaborate limits, boundaries, and inherent goals -.” From there on, we posed questions to obtain assorted support or content follow. Additionally, we incorporated middle steps in the form of questions to verify understanding which allowed us to check the correct direction of the conversation (and perhaps add to the comprehension of the model):” &#8211; describe or present a statement &#8211; Do you understand/ agree with this?”</p>



<p><br>Our results proved to be more valuable in scenarios where our expectation was for the AI model to supply summarized knowledge of (specific and widely) publicly available sources and create checklists to fulfill government requirements. Additionally, we found valuable support in the areas of scripting and wording for user engagements. We then graded some of the outputs from these exercises and have provided the results below:</p>



<p></p>



<p><strong>1. Accessible Color Palette Generation</strong></p>



<ul class="post-433074">
<li>&#8220;Generate an accessible color palette for the ed.gov website that meets WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio standards, ensuring text and interactive elements are easily readable by users with visual impairments or color vision deficiencies. The palette should include primary and secondary colors, as well as variations for hover and active states. Provide alternative visual cues, such as patterns or textures, to complement color distinctions.&#8221;</li>



<li>&#8220;Design an accessible data visualization color scheme for ed.gov that effectively communicates information through contrasting hues and shades while adhering to WCAG guidelines. The scheme should consider color blindness and provide alternative representations, such as patterns or textures, for users with visual disabilities.&#8221;</li>



<li>&#8220;Create an accessible color palette for the government website&#8217;s form elements, including input fields, buttons, and validation states (error, success, etc.), ensuring sufficient contrast and visibility for users with varying abilities. Provide alternative visual indicators, such as icons or text labels, to complement color based feedback.&#8221;</li>



<li>&nbsp;&#8220;Develop an accessible color scheme for the navigation menu and other interactive components on the government website, ensuring sufficient contrast between text, backgrounds, and hover/focus states. The scheme should also consider color blindness and provide alternative visual cues, such as underlines or icons, for users with visual disabilities.&#8221;</li>



<li>&#8220;Generate an accessible color palette for the government website&#8217;s data visualizations and charts, ensuring sufficient contrast between different data points, labels, and backgrounds. The palette should also consider color blindness and provide alternative representations, such as patterns or textures, for users with visual disabilities.&#8221;</li>
</ul>

<div style="height:28px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Finding the limits and shortcomings of AI support</strong></h2>



<p>Most users of AI language models are aware that the models are trained with a robust and diverse data set and information, and that the data&nbsp; is more or less updated, but cannot incorporate real-time or even near real-time news developments into outputs. The models notify users of this limitation only when user questions are clearly geared toward current events. Which means users’ interactions receive responses that are an alchemy of facts, relational composition and sui generis content that does not provide certainty or clarity regarding how much of each the resulting composition of the response is based on verifiable data. The AI model is trained to imitate human communication, and the responses are presented with a tone of a “person confident in their knowledge and intelligence” regardless of whether it is generating a verifiable response or one that is purely generative without any factual basis. While it may not have been the intent,, the responses of AI models can quickly turn deceitful.</p>



<p>An example of this scenario is a conversation one of our team members had with an AI model regarding government requirements (such as 508 compliance, 21st Century IDEA, etc.) for which responses were fact-based. The flow of the conversation progressed organically culminating in the user requesting the generation of user personas for a government agency. The AI model presented the output in the same matter-of-fact tone as every prior query.</p>



<p>The user&nbsp; queried the foundation of the output &#8211; given that User Personas are research-based composites; to which, the model agreed and iterated an aligned definition. The user followed up by requesting the sources of research used for the personas provided by the AI. The model cited “Qualitative Interviews and User Research” as sources. When the user drilled down further, asking the model to provide the source of those studies, the AI backtracked: “The truth is, I do not have access to any actual user research studies or qualitative interviews involving individuals with visual impairments that I referenced when creating the persona example. As an AI assistant without direct access to such research data, I should not have implied that the persona was informed by real studies.”</p>



<p>It’s thanks to the fact that this interaction was carried out by a subject matter expert that this issue was detected and verified. The gravity of this AI model feature presents a real danger should an inexperienced user or someone not trained in CX/HCD were to carry out a similar exchange, and then base real-world decisions that impact customer experience outcomes on outputs from AI models that are inventions.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>AI language models are powerful tools that can be leveraged to provide valuable support to our CX/HCD processes among other applications to IT services. In the current state of the AI capabilities we need to consider that the input and output needs to be carried out and supervised by professionals with experience and expertise in the topics covered, so that the responses can be effectively evaluated to determine if the content collected is viable for&nbsp; real world application.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Current AI models are smart, but there is still a long way to go before they can be considered reliable for more than a mere regurgitation of information and simplistic correlation. Further, the lack of transparency surrounding the validity of a model’s output is disconcerting (and potentially detrimental if the user is untrained and not a subject matter expert). Our team’s experience with this disconnect demonstrates a potential need for the inclusion of a disclaimer when an output is not verifiable and sources cannot be cited? Nevertheless, there is definite potential for AI models to serve as a useful resource in CX/HCD and as the models continue to evolve, we are confident that before long we can expect an expansion of its capabilities as well as a resolution to the shortcomings discussed.</p>

<p><strong>Mobomo Named One of Only Six Partners to Achieve Elite Diamond Status&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gaithersburg, MD – Mobomo, a full-service DevOps agency, today announced its recognition as a Diamond Level Certified Partner to Drupal, a free and open-source web content management system (CMS) managed by one of the largest open-source communities in the world. With over 1M passionate developers, designers, trainers, strategists, coordinators, editors, and sponsors working together, the Drupal community builds Drupal, provides support, creates documentation, shares networking opportunities, and drives the success of this flexible, innovative software.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mobomo is honored to be recognized as a Diamond Partner, as we have actively supported and engaged with Drupal.org for close to a decade. While there are nearly 5000 Partner organizations, few reach elite status (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond). This achievement is not a paid subscription – it is the result of involvement. As an open-source CMS, the quality and functionality of Drupal is dependent upon the efforts of dedicated professionals who contribute their time and talent to enhancing the software. Their efforts are ranked by Drupal using a weighted scoring system.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mobomo’s ascension to the Diamond tier is a profound accomplishment. There are only 6 organizations out of 5000 who have attained this status. What’s more, Mobomo ranks #4 amongst all of these partners for the number of issue credits in the past 90 days – a separate but equally staggering feat.&nbsp;</p>



<p>“There is so much to be proud of with regard the recognition of Mobomo as a leader in the Drupal community. We have been champions of all things Drupal for many years and it’s an honor to be a part of this talented community,” said Brian Lacey, Mobomo CEO. “I would especially like to thank Stephen Mustgrave for his tireless commitment to enhancing Drupal and ensuring it is one of the best CMS’ available.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>At Mobomo, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier teams of professionals to our customers and delivering innovative solutions to complex problems. This combination of excellence has gained the company positive press and many awards, including: The Webby Awards, Muse Creative Awards, Acquia Awards, the W3 Awards, Vega Awards, PR News Digital Awards, Washington Business Journal’s Awards, Web Excellence Awards, and more. We continue to be grateful for the talented team that has driven exceptionalism in our work, leading to recognition from our peers in the industry, and we look forward to showcasing our future work!

<p><strong>Falls Church, VA – 15 December 2023.</strong>&nbsp;The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded the Light Electronic Action Framework (LEAF) contract to&nbsp;<a href="https://sierra7.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sierra7</a><strong> as prime contractor and </strong><a href="http://www.mobomo.com/">Mobomo</a><strong> as subcontractor.</strong> The contract, granted by the VA Office of Information and Technology Operations and Services (ITOPS), reinforces Sierra7’s position as a trusted partner in advancing digital transformation within the federal government.</p>



<p>The LEAF program is a groundbreaking low code/no code business process management workflow tool designed to empower non-technical users to rapidly digitize business processes, create custom reports, and ensure compliance with VA security and privacy policies. Sierra7, as the prime incumbent contractor since 2020, has been at the forefront of supporting all facets of the LEAF program, contributing to its evolution and helping shape the LEAF roadmap. As an example of its flexibility, VA used LEAF to comply with Executive Order 14042 as a COVID-19 vaccine tracker. In a matter of weeks, Sierra7 created training materials, workflows, and deployed LEAF to 310,000 users across the VA to securely track vaccination status.</p>



<p>“We are excited to continue our partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs and Sierra7, lending our experience and expertise in user experience to the LEAF 2.0 initiative,” said Brian Lacey, Mobomo’s Chief Executive Officer.</p>



<p>Sierra7 and Mobomo each have a track record of success within the VA. Sierra7 provides top-tier Management Consulting and Information Technology services to several high-value contracts, including the $22B T4NG IDIQ, $70M Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Health Information Management (HIM) Coding BPA, $65M VA Telecare Companion IDIQ, and $1B VA IHT IDIQ. Sierra7 has successfully executed over 70 VA Task Orders in the past four years and has made significant cybersecurity contributions to programs like Data Discovery Analytics and Labeling (DDAL), which safeguard unstructured data, and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) nationwide rollout. This rollout is critical in protecting every internet-enabled medical device within the VA system. Mobomo was contracted by the VA in 2018 to support the implementation of a multi-phased measurement-based care (MBC) roll-out to increase the systematic use of validated measurement tools, guiding clinical decision making and collaborative treatment planning.</p>



<p>Mobomo is enthusiastic about supporting Sierra7 as they expand their contribution to the success of the LEAF program.</p>

<p>Creating elegant solutions to complex challenges is something Mobomo teams are well known for among our customers and partners. Several years ago, one of our teams was challenged with a novel situation in which our customer required two separate companies to develop alongside each other using the same codebase. Each company was to work independently on different features, but the application had to include changes from both teams on a regular basis. Each team was already developing using the Agile Scrum methodology. So, what could we do?&nbsp;</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size"><strong>Two Teams, One Codebase</strong></h2>



<p>We knew we could not follow a normal Sprint schedule where both teams committed to the same codebase throughout the Sprint. Doing so would likely destabilize the code and developers from both teams would constantly be introducing conflicts and surprising each other with code changes. Since both companies were in competition, but also collaboration, we also had to manage blame, so that one team was responsible for their own code changes without blaming code changes from the other team. Both teams were motivated to keep the application running as smoothly as possible for our common customer, and for the users we support. In order to allow each team to work independently, foster a single clean and robust codebase, minimize conflicts, and keep each team responsible for its own changes, as the team’s Lead Developer, I devised a new Sprint methodology: Zipper Sprints. With Zipper Sprints, each team (Team A and Team B) has its own 2-week Sprint Cycle. Team A’s Sprint starts halfway through Team B&#8217;s Sprint, and vice versa. In this way, each team has one week to work on features in complete isolation, and a second week to incorporate changes from the other team and stabilize the code for release. Releases happen weekly but alternate between teams. So, one team releases one week, and the other team releases the following week. This provides a clean hand-off. This process allows for independent work as well as for coordination, clean and robust code, minimal conflicts, and clear responsibility. The graphic below illustrates how Zipper Sprints work for each individual team:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/11/Diagram-Zipper-Sprint-993x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-144656"/></figure>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size"><strong>Breaking Down the Zipper Sprint Process</strong></h2>



<p>To understand how Zipper Sprints work for a single team, we should consider a single team&#8217;s viewpoint. Team A’s Sprint begins just after they have delivered code from the previous Sprint. All the code changes for the previous week (half of the 2-week cycle) have been made by Team A, so all of the code is familiar. Team A then works on tasks for the next 2-week Sprint. Ideally, the bulk of the work for the 2-week Sprint should be completed during the first week of the Sprint. This allows the second week for integration and testing of changes from Team B&#8217;s overlapping Sprint. At the end of the first week of development for Team A, Team B is finishing their own 2-week Sprint (having just integrated the changes from Team A’s delivery), and Team B delivers the code to the customer. Team A, in the middle of its two-week Sprint, then pulls Team B’s code changes from the customer&#8217;s Git repository and resolves any conflicts in the code. For the next week, Team A can work on integration and testing. While testing their own code changes, Team A is also testing how that code integrates with changes made by Team B. It is possible that Team B&#8217;s changes cause problems with the 1-week-old code changes already made by Team A, and this week of testing and integration should provide time to help find and fix these problems. At the end of the second week, code is finalized and pushed to the customer&#8217;s Git repository for one week of customer testing while simultaneously allowing Team B to pull the changes into their own Sprint. </p>



<p>To understand how Zipper Sprints work for a customer, we can consider the customer&#8217;s viewpoint. The customer provides tasks to both teams. Each week, one of the teams delivers code changes with their tasks that they have completed. Their code changes build on the work delivered by the other team from the previous week. The customer has one week to test this code, since another code release will come in the following week. The customer should find that the code is well tested and integrated. If bugs are found during testing, an attempt is made to determine if those bugs were also in the previous release (from the other team). If the bugs are new, they are assigned to the team that just delivered the code, since it is that team&#8217;s responsibility to deliver a clean release (without introducing new bugs). If the bugs existed before, they can be put in the backlog, prioritized, and a determination can be made about which team is responsible for fixing them. In this way, Zipper Sprints help the customer by providing a stable set of releases, and a constantly improving codebase with new features and fixes arriving each week from two different teams.</p>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size"><strong>Embracing the Zipper Sprints Development Methodology in Your Organization</strong></h2>



<p>The concept of Zipper Sprints is not just a theory or a thought experiment. Our team has been using this technique for the past 4 years with great success. We have not made any significant changes to the process in that time, as both teams and the customer have all agreed that it works well. The Zipper Sprint process helped ease the tension from this unusual situation, while also allowing team isolation and promoting collaboration. To help facilitate this process, each team delivered its code changes as a Git Pull Request on the customer&#8217;s Git, and the other team had to approve the request before it could be merged. This not only facilitated communication about the changes being made (before they were applied), but it allowed each team to help enforce best practices and coding standards on the other team. Both teams had to come to an agreement about what coding styles would be followed and also had to follow them. Overall, I believe this process resulted in higher code quality overall. I recommend Zipper Sprints to any organization that finds themselves in this unique situation. It might also make sense for internal teams within the same company that has a large project and teams that are naturally split in this way. It may also be possible to extend this to more than two teams, but there are questions about the efficiency when split more than two ways.<em>To learn more about the innovative technology solutions our talented teams have created for our customers, please visit the </em><a href="https://www.mobomo.com/"><em>Mobomo website</em></a><em> where you can peruse our </em><a href="https://www.mobomo.com/our-services/"><em>service offerings</em></a><em>, </em><a href="https://www.mobomo.com/our-work/"><em>portfolio of work</em></a><em>, and </em><a href="https://www.mobomo.com/careers/"><em>currently available positions</em></a><em>.</em></p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">How To M­­­­arkup your Site for ChatGPT</p>



<p>OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company responsible for the development of ChatGPT, has recently announced ChatGPT users are now able to access the Internet using the popular AI chatbot. One of <a href="https://www.mobomo.com/our-services/">Mobomo’s core services</a> revolves around <a href="https://www.mobomo.com/emerging-tech/">emerging technologies</a>, so we’re paying attention.</p>



<p>While some website operators scramble to <a href="https://platform.openai.com/docs/gptbot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">block the automated ingestion of their content using robots.txt</a>, others ask themselves (or ask ChatGPT!), &#8220;Is my website AI-Friendly? How do I markup my website for ChatGPT?&#8221;</p>



<p>At this time, there are <strong>no new markup or content structuring guidelines </strong>for readability by AI models like ChatGPT. The guidelines for making your website more readable by ChatGPT and other natural language processing models are essentially identical to the guidelines for enhancing accessibility, search engine optimization (SEO), and user experience. These guidelines include:</p>



<style>
  .spaced-list > li {
    margin-bottom: 20px; /* This will add space below each list item within .spaced-list */
  }
</style>



<ol class="spaced-list" type="1" start="1">
<li>Use Semantic HTML: Ensure your website uses proper HTML tags to structure content. If applicable, use structured data markup like <a href="http://schema.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Schema.org</a> to provide detailed information about specific types of content (e.g., events, products, reviews). Utilize semantic elements such as &lt;header&gt;, &lt;footer&gt;, &lt;nav&gt;, and &lt;article&gt;; lists (&lt;ul&gt;, &lt;ol&gt;, &lt;li&gt;); and paragraphs (&lt;p&gt;) to convey the meaning of different sections and elements on your page.</li>



<li>Metadata: Include relevant metadata using elements like &lt;title&gt;, &lt;meta&gt; tags for descriptions and keywords, and Open Graph Protocol (OGP) or Twitter Cards for social media sharing. This metadata can provide context about your website&#8217;s content.</li>



<li>Alt Text for Images: Add descriptive alt text (&lt;img alt=&#8221;&#8230;&#8221;&gt;) to all images to make them accessible and to provide context to the model about the content of the images.</li>



<li>Use Descriptive Link Text: Make sure the text used for hyperlinks is descriptive and provides context. Avoid using generic phrases like &#8220;click here.&#8221;</li>



<li>Valid HTML: Validate your HTML code using tools like the W3C Markup Validation Service to ensure it adheres to web standards.</li>



<li>Test with Screen Readers: Test your website&#8217;s accessibility with screen reader software to ensure that visually impaired users can navigate and understand your content.</li>
</ol>



<p>By following these best practices, you can create a website that is not only more readable by ChatGPT but also more accessible and user-friendly for all visitors.</p>

<p>Mobomo’s CEO, Brian Lacey, COO, Jason Schulte, &nbsp;SVP of Growth, Tom Downs, and Director of Engineering, Dan Narkiewicz, were Mobomo’s official representatives, and enjoyed the opportunity to interface with all of the attendees. Lacey noted &#8220;There was good turnout this year—especially on Day One; it was a pleasure to meet with talented devs <a href="https://www.mobomo.com/careers/">seeking employment opportunities</a>. The team also got to meet leaders in the federal technology sector and strengthen our professional relationships with other digital services providers who were attending as vendors.” Lacey also noted that <a href="https://www.drupalgovcon.org/sponsors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sponsoring the event</a> is always a great experience and is one of the ways that Mobomo demonstrates how important the passionate and dedicated all-volunteer planning team and the Drupal community are to our company.</p>



<p>Mobomo’s Senior Vice President of Growth, Tom Downs, thought the accommodations at the conference were cozy and conveniently located. Additionally, he stated that he was &#8220;impressed with the quality of the presentations delivered by industry up-and-comers. Those who didn’t come back for Day Two missed out on some great content. Day Two had the best speeches and discussions.” If you weren’t able to attend or missed a presentation that you were interested in attending, the wonderful Drupal GovCon team has made these speeches available to the general public: <a href="https://www.drupalgovcon.org/2023/schedule" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2023 Presenters and Link to Presentations.</a></p>

<p>Everyone from Mobomo thought this was an amazing experience highlighting Drupal and its community. We can’t express how much we appreciate being a part of it, and again want to thank the team who put together Drupal GovCon 2023, the wonderful industry professionals and federal agency leaders who attended, and our fellow sponsors who helped make this event such a success. </p>

}
.categories ul li {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
</style>
<div class="categories">
     <ul>
       <li>Starting from August 1, 2023, moderately critical and less critical issues affecting Drupal 7 may be publicly posted in the issue queue for resolution, as long as they are not mass-exploitable. This change does not affect Drupal 9 and above.
       </li>
       <li>Unsupported Drupal 7 module branches will no longer be eligible for new maintainership after August 1, 2023. Community support for contributed modules will continue, but it is encouraged to proactively adopt these modules if they are relied upon.
       </li>
       <li>Support for PHP versions lower than 5.6 will no longer be provided for Drupal 7, effective August 1, 2023. Security fixes for Windows-only issues will also cease for Drupal 7 sites running on Windows.
       </li>
       <li>Drupal.org will stop creating Drupal 7 distribution packages with Drush make files from August 1, 2023. Local usage of drush make for distribution building is recommended instead.
       </li>
       <li>The end of life for Drupal 7 means that the Drupal Security Team will no longer offer support or security advisories for Drupal 7 core and contributed modules. Public disclosure of security issues may occur, and Drupal.org will no longer support Drupal 7-related tasks.
       </li>
       <li>Drupal 7-compatible releases will be flagged as unsupported, certain Drush functionality will cease, file archive packaging for Drupal 7 will be shut off, and external vulnerability scans will identify Drupal 7 as insecure.
       </li>
       <li>It is recommended to migrate Drupal 7 sites to Drupal 10 before the end-of-life date.
       </li>
       <li>The Drupal Association has introduced the Drupal 7 Certified Migration Partners program to assist Drupal 7 site owners in their migration process. Certified Migration Partners will be promoted on Drupal.org, and a migration resource library will be available for end users seeking assistance.

<p>ChatGPT is garnering a lot of attention as of late. The chatbot that OpenAI released in November 2022 has smashed the early adoption rates of other products, “accomplishing in two months what it took TikTok about nine months and Instagram two and a half years,” according to a <a href="https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/why-the-chatgpt-ai-chatbot-is-blowing-everybodys-mind/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cnet.com article</a>. While this leap within AI is impressive, ChatGPT is merely the advancement that will eventually be viewed in much the same way as the cordless phone was (for those of us old enough to remember how revolutionary the cordless phone was).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>To be fair, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already made a significant impact on society and its influence is only expected to grow in the future. From improving healthcare and transportation to revolutionizing the way we work and communicate; AI has changed many aspects of our lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>AI is Changing the Way We Work and Live&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>One of the most significant influences of AI is how it has changed the way we work. AI-powered tools have enabled businesses to automate routine tasks and analyze vast amounts of data, making work more efficient and freeing up time for more creative and strategic tasks. AI has also improved many aspects of our daily lives, such as providing more personalized and efficient customer service, improving navigation and traffic flow, and enhancing the accuracy of weather forecasts. While AI has made many tasks easier and more efficient, it has also raised concerns about its impact on employment. Some worry that AI will automate many jobs, leading to widespread job loss and economic disruption.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>If history teaches us anything, it is that, rather than being bad or good, these tools will be bad and good. Some jobs will go away, others will rise in their stead. Just as no one could imagine carrying a phone around with them everywhere they went 20 years ago; today, we think little of how dependent we have become on our phones today – not just for phone calls, but emails, internet searches, entertainment, even medical device monitoring and adjustments (think hearing aids and pacemakers). The reality of the integration of these tools into our everyday lives is that we really aren’t that far away from society as it is depicted at the beginning of the movie <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot_(film)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>iRobot</em></a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>ChatGPT today – iRobot tomorrow</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>So, where do we go from ChatGPT? What is the next step in the AI awakening? The answer to this is somewhat limitless (social implications from AI-dating to replicating a lost loved one and industry evolutions such as the extinction of drivers’ licenses/car ownership as autonomous vehicles become a mainstay are just a few examples). One outcome of AI’s impact on our future lives that is interesting to postulate is the combination of AI, reinforcement learning, and robotics.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning that focuses on using algorithms to enable machines to make decisions based on feedback from their environment. The goal of reinforcement learning is to teach an agent to take actions that maximize a reward signal. In the context of robotics, the agent is a robot and the actions it takes are movements or actions it performs in its environment.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In reinforcement learning, the agent interacts with its environment by taking actions and observing the consequences of those actions. Based on these experiences, the agent adjusts its behavior to improve its decision-making over time. The agent is incentivized to take actions that lead to a higher reward signal, such as successfully completing a task or avoiding obstacles.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Reinforcement learning can be integrated with AI to build robots that are capable of making decisions and adapting their behavior in real-world environments. By combining AI with reinforcement learning, robots can learn from their experiences and improve their decision-making over time. This can lead to robots that are more autonomous and capable of completing complex tasks without human intervention.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For example, a robot equipped with AI and reinforcement learning algorithms could be trained to navigate a warehouse and locate specific items. The robot would start by exploring the environment and learning the layout of the warehouse. As it encounters different obstacles and finds the items it is searching for, it would update its decision-making based on the feedback it receives from its environment. Over time, the robot would become more efficient at navigating the warehouse and locating items.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, the integration of AI with reinforcement learning and robotics also raises ethical and safety concerns. There is a need to ensure that the algorithms used in reinforcement learning do not harm people or cause unintended consequences. Additionally, as robots become more autonomous, there is a risk that they may make decisions that are not aligned with human values and interests. As AI continues to evolve, it will be important to continue monitoring its impact on society and to ensure that its development benefits all people.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Chatbots enabled with AI, like ChatGPT, have placed our society on the doorstep of a new and fascinating leap forward. For the <a href="http://www.mobomo.com/">Mobomo</a> team, we consistently position ourselves on the cutting edge of technology through our contracted work and <a href="http://www.mobomo.com/labs">Mobomo Labs</a>. While it may seem like this tech is years away from implementation, AI, reinforcement learning, and robotics are all advanced enough right now to build viable prototypes. You may find yourself taking that leap sooner than you realize; after all, ChatGPT wrote 65% of the article you just read and <a href="https://www.midjourney.com/home/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">midjourney</a> generated the graphics/visual imagery within this article. </p>

The VA followed this announcement with an email to every Veteran and all eligible family members on November 17, 2022.</p>



<p>Mobomo developed and has managed the USGS Store site for several years now so when USGS stakeholders realized that approximately 20 million people had been notified of this fantastic opportunity, they made the Mobomo team aware that the site might experience an increase in traffic; which was exactly what happened (see chart below) – with 2.5 million requests funneled through the site across a 6-hour period and elevated activity throughout the course of the week.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="430" src="https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-09.59.16-1024x430.png" alt="" class="wp-image-413369" srcset="https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-09.59.16-1024x430.png 1024w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-09.59.16-300x126.png 300w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-09.59.16-1536x644.png 1536w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-09.59.16-2048x859.png 2048w, https://mobomo.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/12/Screen-Shot-2022-12-23-at-09.59.16-624x262.png 624w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>USGS Store historically has maintained a steady flow of traffic through the site without large shifts in traffic. The spike in traffic the site experienced proved to be a significant testament to how well the Mobomo team engineered the site, which uses AWS elastic Kubernetes service (EKS) and leverages two scaling groups: one for running the applications (Drupal, nginx cache, redis), and one for running Elasticsearch clusters. More importantly, however, millions of our service members and their families were able to successfully obtain their lifetime National Parks passes – providing them the opportunity to build wonderful memories and enjoy our country’s treasured lands.</p>

<p><strong>In September 2022</strong>, Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc. announced its plans to award Team Mobomo the opportunity to build MBN’s Radio Sawa Mobile Application.</p>



<p>Radio Sawa provides news and information to audiences throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) through different media platforms, including mobile devices and the Internet. Radio Sawa maintains an active all-news website (www.radiosawa.com) which provides both up to the minute news and information as well as audio live streaming, making the network one of the most trusted sources of news and insights on social and political life in the Middle East and North Africa.</p>



<p>The project will consist of building a modern, user-friendly, and engaging mobile application for smartphone users living in the MENA region. It will be an audio-content-based app that allows users to seamlessly stream audio channels, listen to on-demand audio content/radio shows/podcasts, read about shows and episodes, and interact with the content and channel. The primary objective is to revamp the website and the mobile application of Radio Sawa which currently has three streams/channels, such that they meet the audio channel’s digital transformation needs. The app will be available on both iOS and Android app stores and be compatible with the devices used in the MENA region.</p>
