Hey all, Tonights show is on the Judiciary and their efforts to upgrade their Case Management and Electronic Case Filing System. It is a large undertaking both financially and time wise. The contractor selected to perform the work is ACS. That's right! The van cam folks. Makes you wonder about how the state got off so cheaply for the cams and if contracts like this had anything to do with that.
Anyway, I am up front with coverage of all the news that Open Source and Linux In particular received last week. I plan to make this a continuing investigation into the monetary and business value that open source brings to the table. I will be hilighting subjects such as IBM, Dell, HP and the many more that are supporting Linux and Open Source. The Fact that 39% of Large Corporations are now using Linux and that the State of hawaii saved $200,000 of taxpayer money using open source software. Tune in tonight 5-6 p.m. on 89.3 FM KIPO or from the web at www.hawaiipublicradio.org there are 2 streams, one in Real and one in Quicktime. I also transcribed my piece complete with links to articles on the Thinktech homepage. Devon, if you are still interested in writing articles on Linux and open source I am happy to collaborate with you. Don
