SF Gate on Open Source Government

Bruce Perens writes: "At the San Francisco Chronicle's SF Gate, Hal Plotkin points to Sincere Choice as the right compromise for an IT renaissance in Government including both Open Source and proprietary software. The article is extremely flattering to yours truly, but a good push in the right direction from a well-respected commentator."

    You know, I always wonder how someone gets the job of "commentator". I often hear them with their 60 second or 2 minute pieces on NPR, and I wonder... Did they apply for the job? Does one become an apprentice commentator first? Do you just start bitching a lot and being nostalgic, and then people assume you are a commentator, and the rest follows?
