Oregon Bill Would Require Open Source Consideration
VeniDormi writes "I just found out that House Bill 2892 was introduced in the Oregon House of Representatives by Representative Phil Barnhart. The summary: 'Requires state government to consider using open source software when acquiring new software. Sets other requirements for acquiring software.'
Rep. Barnhart has a few comments on the bill." A NewsForge story has more information, including some words from Rep. Barnhart.
And on the border of Oregon and Washington State, the tanks are massing for an invasion of Oregon.
The Govenor of Washington was heard to refer to this operation as "Operation Make Bill Richer"...

You know, I think Washington should activate their National Guard and invade Oregon over this
I can see it now, Idaho will send human shields in to Oregon to protect valuable hiking grounds and fisheries. The French of course will not support Washington. Berkeley will pass a resolution to pout and not bath until Washington backs down. Meantime the Oregonian leaders will be out in Elmira with Ken Kesey chillin with some good jane wonderin what all the fuss is about. It would then be up to the white supremecists in Portland to defend the state.
No way man. In this country our elected representatives listen to "The People", not Big Business.
There are 01 kinds of cars in the world. The General Lee, and everything else.
Are you kidding? The last thing that any red-blooded Idahoan wants to do is protect Oregon's wildlife. We pray every night that the entire state of Oregon drops into the sea so that we can use our valuable river water in the way God intended, watering our fields.
Heck, most Oregonians are barely a step above your average Californian, and your average Californian is actually two or three steps below Satan himself. Not that the folks from Washington are much better.
