Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development

Posted by samzenpus on from the building-a-center-near-you dept.

Colonel Panic writes "Oregon's Governor Ted Kulongoski is backing a plan to establish an Open Technology Center in Beaverton (also home to the OSDL). The purpose of the center will be to boost the adoption of open technology among developers and industries. Given that the Portland area hosts OSCON and is the home to the OSDL and now Linus, is Portland becoming the center for Open Source development in the US?"

    Other state agencies probably have theirs posted as well...
