OSGeo colleagues,

A colleague of mine is publishing an article in Government Technology Magazine. At the end of the article he wants to list some good resources that local governments might turn to if they were considering open source. I'd like to build such a list. This doesn't have to be OS Geo in particular. It could be just on open source in general.

If anyone has links to good content that would inform local gov decision-makers, can you send to me? I'll compile and send out what I learn or perhaps will make a wiki page for us with that content.
The obvious starting place is Open Source for America: http://opensourceforamerica.org/ (mostly a Federal focus)
for Defense: mil-oss.org
the GOSCON conference, which we all know about: gocon.org
Oregon State Open Source Lab (and particularly see their sponsor list): http://osuosl.org Redhat has a page on State & Local Government use of Linux at http://www.redhat.com/solutions/government/state/ - with some links to resources and case studies
