Saw this on Slashdot today: http://it.slashdot.org/it/04/08/13/1317236.shtml?tid=103&tid=117&tid=185&tid=98
The link to the California Performance Review recommendation: http://www.report.cpr.ca.gov/cprrpt/issrec/stops/it/so10.htm The "California Performance Review" lists over 1200 recommendations that aim to "save the state $32 billion over the next 5 years and guide California's government into the 21th century". I think it is highly significant that SO10 (10th recommendation for statewide operations) lists open source. Much of the other 31 information technology recommendations also seem very reasonable (http://www.report.cpr.ca.gov/cprrpt/issrec/stops/it/index.htm). Even this one --> http://www.report.cpr.ca.gov/cprrpt/issrec/stops/it/so06.htm which may lead to an open-source code repository. :-) Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P.
