RED HAT LAUNCHES LDAP-BASED DIRECTORY SERVER
On June 1, 2005 Red Hat announced the release of the Fedora Directory Server and Red Hat Directory Server. These announcements are the first result of over two years of effort planning the extension of the Open Source Architecture into the area of identity management, providing technologies which are the foundation of all efficient enterprises. Additionally, Red Hat has recently renewed a contract with DISA to manage the largest PKI environment on the planet with over 12,000,000 certificates and millions of directory entries deployed throughout the DoD.

CALLING ALL CARS-NJ STATE POLICE CHOOSE OPEN SOURCE FOR INTELLIGENCE
In the next year, New Jersey State Police officials hope to have most county and local law enforcement officials connected to a statewide searchable system that collects, analyzes and shares criminal and terrorism-related information while utilizing an open-source infrastructure.
The Statewide Intelligence Management System (SIMS) began two years ago and cost about $2 million in state and federal funds. It is developing a culture of information sharing among law enforcement agencies statewide, police officials say.STATE, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO LEVERAGE OPEN SOURCE
While the federal government encourages agencies to consider open source through software-procurement guidelines and such executive mandates as the eGovernment Act, local and state governments will more aggressively push adoption in the long run, turning to VARs to supply the skills needed to take full advantage.
No longer the taboo alternative, open-source technology is garnering more attention and consideration by states and local municipalities that want to save money and secure the availability of data, according to a recent study by Input, a Reston, Va.-based government research firm.INTERNAUT: WHAT'S NEXT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE IN GOVERNMENT?
Open-source initiatives continue to have a significant impact on long-term government IT planning. Now that the open-source Linux operating system is firmly established, can open applications be far behind? A few recent events illustrate how much momentum open source has gained.
RED HAT SUMMIT HIGHLIGHTS
The Summit was fantastic. Open source customers, partners, developers, and members of the community came together for three days in New Orleans. If you missed the Summit, its not too late to catch the highlights.
FEATURED VIDEO: TRUTH HAPPENS
Despite ignorance, ridicule, and opposition, truth happens.
Open source continues to revolutionize the industry. Everyday, someone around the world chooses a proprietary solution restricted by patents, copyrights, and trademarks. At the same time, someone else around the world learns of open source and adopts its innovative, compelling technology.
