And then we hear:
"In a surprise announcement, President Obama has named the nation's first  
federal CIO: Vivek Kundra, CTO of the District of Columbia."

 From another source:
"Mr. Kundra was part of Obama’s transition tech team and was tasked with  
designing Recovery.gov, a Web site that’s supposed to provide information  
on how stimulus money is being spent."

Woohoo! W3C technologies at the top!
