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.Thanks in advance!
