The adoption of open-source software in governments has had its ups and
downs. While open source seems like a “no-brainer”, it turns out that
governments can be surprisingly resistant to using FOSS for a variety of
reasons. Federico González Waite spoke in the Open Government track at SCALE 22x in Pasadena,

There Are Four Things You Must Do to Save America
Stephan A. Schwartz, Editor - Schwartzreport
_Stephan: As I was researching stories for today’s SR, I did a podcast with a host named Helen Cowan. She asked me what I thought was going on in the United States, and what I thought ordinary people could do to preserve the nation’s democracy and avoid the country being owned by oligarchs. As I answered her I thought that rather than do the usual four trend stories … ⌘ Read more
