Hi,

Excerpts ...

"The US Department of Defense, which has been flirting with open source for
years as a way to improve software quality and cut costs, has finally burst
the dam on Defense-related open-source adoption with Forge.mil, an
open-source code repository based on Sourceforge. Though it currently only
holds three projects and is limited to DoD personnel for security reasons,
all code is publicly viewable and will almost certainly lead to other
agencies participating on the site or creating their own. Open source has
clearly come a long way. Years ago studies declared open source a security
risk. Now, one of the most security-conscious organizations on the planet is
looking to open source to provide better security than proprietary
alternatives."


Stay Secure, Stay Opensource !
