έγραψε:the White House’s New Media Director Macon Phillips announced the White House’s second code release to the open-source Drupal content management system (CMS).
έγραψε:This isn’t the first time that the White House has contributed code to Drupal. Last April, the Feds also submitted improvements to Drupal’s scalability, communication, and accessibility functionality.
έγραψε:The U.S. government was using and creating open-source and free software before either term even existed. For example, NASA’s COSMIC software collection and VistA, the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) electronic health records (EHR), which is now used in open-source EHR systems such as WorldVista and OpenVista, date back to the 60s and 70s. By embracing open source, Obama is returning to free software’s government roots.

Τό διάβασα με επιφύλαξη
γιατί στο πίσω μέρος τού μυαλού μου υπήρχε το ερώτημα:
"τί δουλειά έχουν οι feds με το open source?"
τί λέτε, υπάρχει λάκκος στη φάβα?
ή δέν πρέπει να είμαστε πάντα επιφυλακτικοί κυνηγώντας δαίμονες εκεί πού δέν υπάρχουν?
