Open Source for America: A resource for the Gov2.0 CTO

With this post I’d like to tell you a bit more about the coalition Open Source for America and why I believe it is so important for our collective future.  I would also like to encourage you to join this coalition yourself.   Whether you represent industry, academia, non-profit organizations or are an individual technologist this coalition needs your help and support.

The coalition is designed to serve as a centralized resource for information on open source technologies, thereby helping serve the U.S. Federal Government’s mission.  Just as community is at the heart of open source software, community is at the heart of the Open Source for America group.

That spirit comes through loud and clear in the organization’s charter.  If you support our stated principles, we need you as part of this coalition.
