Hi, Seth,
This list is probably the right place for that. We are, after all the
folks in NH interested in working together on F/LOSS. Bill, Chris and
I attended the only hearing we know to have been open to the public on
this, and other than a lady who was there to listen to an unrelated
rider attempt the attendance was all GNHLUG members.
Thanks for the update, and maybe for next year we can line up the
proper legislative mumbo jumbo to make it apparent that OIT is the
problem. The legislative branch imposes change on the executive branch
by resolution all the time, so deferring to OIT on this matter is
strange at best. We have to assume they didn't understand what this
bill was about. I gave my card to all present at the hearing in case
they had any questions and I didn't receive any calls.
The part about mainframe code is a red herring as well. They mentioned
that EDS was writing a new application for them (medicare, I think) and
that cost however many bazillion dollars. So, the obvious thing to do
is to specify that the EDS-contracted code would be available under an
OSS license.
