A team led by representatives from the University of Texas at Austin and Georgia Tech Research Institute are conducting voluntary interviews by email and telephone of federal, state and local government representatives who are willing to share their experiences and insights on open source adoption within public sector systems. Information provided will help to identify common challenges, solutions and resources available to public sector adopters. We are looking for input from representatives from all branches and levels of government and public sector, as well as those who provide service and support for open source solutions to government clients. If you are interested in participating, please contact our research team by email at: govoss-feedb...@oss-institute.org . Specifically we're looking for: END USERS: People in Government who use open source software DEVELOPERS: People in Government who develop open source software as part of their official duties ACQUISITION VETTING: People in Government who deal with acquisition decisions, information assurance (IA) vetting and/or support software OPEN SECURITY: Developers who have had success in getting government approval in the open security/open source solutions VENDORS: Vendors who provide support for Open Security/Open Source software in government spaces If you meet this criteria, or know someone who does, please contact us. Our team will select a number of interview candidates for approximately 20-30 minutes telephone interview. Others, we will accept your stories and insights via email. Conversations can be non-attribution, if preferred. Prior to our call, we will provide interviewees with a short list of questions to consider. We appreciate your consideration and hope that you can take a few moments to share with us and others lessons that you've learned from working with open source software within government IT.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Jobs list

Maybe a good opportunity to discuss this :-) Traffic on the OSGeo Discuss list is not very high these days, but it has by far the largest number of subscribers. When posting a job opportunity you want to have a large crowd reading it. Maybe we should reconsider if it is indeed a problem for the community to receive job postings on the discuss list or not? I personally don't have problems with jobs posted on the discuss list. I also think that people will immediately respond when someone abuses the list for inappropriate posts, so there will be a community moderation effect also. (I can't immediately think of inappropriate postings for jobs). Here there visibility would be definitely higher! I would be fine to read the postings in this discuss list.
