Via Slashdot, here's a write-up about the Government Day sub-conference at LinuxWorld Boston by Tina Gasperson of Newsforge. According to Linux World, the Government Day subconference was a “five-session program of presentations, meetings, and attendee dialogues with leading government, LWE vendors, and community project leaders. Its purpose was to bring into focus the dominant issues facing public sector decision makers in building and maintaining systems and staff in a world of rapidly evolving technology."
Gasperson said that of the speakers she heard, “two really made me sit up and pay attention: David Wheeler of the Institute for Defense Analyses, and Luis Villa, a Harvard Law School geek and self-professed 'free software bigot.'"
Read her article, Why open standards matter for an interesting discussion of standards, monopolies, and choice.
