FOSS vs. the Winged Monkeys: Q&A With Open Source for America's Chris Lundberg

"Lundberg is looking to the new administration in Washington to move forward with technological reform. So far, he said, the new president is making the right moves, but he expects to see more governmental cooperation.

"The Obama administration has expressed its desire to create an unprecedented level of openness in government and establish a system of transparency, public participation and collaboration. These goals coincide with those of open source, noted Lundberg.

"Open Source for America provides a unified voice to help bring about change in U.S. federal government policies and practices to allow it to better utilize open source software for cost efficiency, security and enhanced performance."
