Again, is there no process within the Navy to bring in such software?
Much open source software is produced by volunteers, who wouldn't be
able to run much in the way of compliance testing. I haven't noticed
anyone on this list offering to do that.
For starters, we'd have no idea what the requirements are.

We would like to use Open Office in a training environment to replace
our aging MS Office suite. It must be on an approved list to be used.
The Navy has now stated that we should try to use open source software
if possible. We would have about 500 - 1000 users. Getting it approved
for NAVY use would really get the ball rolling. How bout it?
How does one get an application approved? Is there not a process where
someone in the Navy can request approval?
