Welcome to Nextgov

If you've looked at GovernmentExecutive.com today, you may have noticed a new box on our home page featuring headlines from Nextgov.com. And if you've looked even more closely, you may have seen that when you put your mouse over the word "Technology" on our navigation bar at the top of every page, it turns into a link to Nextgov.

That's because we've found a new home in the Government Executive family for our technology coverage -- and much more. As I explained in my column in the March issue of the magazine, Nextgov is aimed at serving the federal information technology community by providing not only news and information, but an opportunity for a shared conversation between and among federal IT officials, program managers, private sector officials and outside observers about building the high-performing, outcome-oriented public sector organizations of the future.

Allan Holmes, Nextgov's executive editor, provides more information about the site in a welcome message he's posted.

Nextgov is built on the idea that information technology will be the backbone of effective government in the future. Our goal is to provide a forum for the sharing of information about how that process is unfolding. We're pretty excited about it, and we hope you'll come along for the ride.
