Is anyone working on getting legislation passed that directs the state to use open source software before going commercial? Giving the budget crises et al. I tried to get budget numbers on what we are paying for commercial software packages that could easily be replaced by GNU based products. No-one has or is willing to give me any information. I just read in LJ that a couple of states had run into resistance from MS and others when trying to push this through. I am thinking about getting some interested folk together to get see what we can do. Any comments? ***** Robert Johnston Datajockeys, LLC
