    SD Times[^]:

    The White House and the federal government will begin to make a major commitment to open-source software this summer. While the government has long used open-source software and tools, a new proposal out of the White House last weekend suggests that governmentally written or commissioned software should be released under free and open-source licenses.

    The government and software is like water and oil.

      This seems (for the most part - military excluded) like a reasonable idea since anything created by the government should de facto become a common good. Sadly it may actually be uncommonly bad if this is an example: TSA spent $47,000 on an app that just randomly picks lanes for passengers | Ars Technica[^]

        If they only knew what they we're saying. Remember the High Level dude in the government that got hacked and extorted was an AOLer. They just wanna say something hip n' cool They have no more of a clue that the middle aged walk-ins that we see every day here at the "opps you clicked that?" shop.

              Their agile procurement manual weights more than the 767 based K46 tanker aircraft. :laugh:

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
