OSCON 2009: Governments and open source

I poked Tim on Twitter a couple times when he tweeted about OSA, but got no repsonse from him (tho DBowen seems to agree with me):

He needs a politician on that advisory board, I think. Having one around to remind you of their worldview seems sine qua non to me for an organization like OSA, but politicians are conspicuous by their absence on that board...

It is nice to see, in general, though, that government is coming out of the closet about open source usage.
