Hey folks, as a follow up the the previous article on a bill to form the Open Source Software forOregon Act:
http://news.com.com/2100-1012-996210.html the bill doesn't mandate the use of open source, but rather, it would require the stateto consider using open-source software when buying new programs. i don't think we need to mandate the use of open source in Hawaii gov, but i think asimilar bill to require it's consideration would be good thing. it's all about awarenessand educating these folks about the benefits of open source solutions. if we can dothat without a bill, great...but can we? cheers, kimo
