Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 26, 2005 @10:56AM 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?"

According to census information, Portland is 78% white. While that is obviously mostly white, there aren't many cities in this country of Portland's size outside of the southwest or southern Florida that are LESS white.
