Oregon Government Supporting Open Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lets-get-em-all-on-the-wagon dept.

amountlad writes "In a pair of articles released today on N4N.org, Oregon continues to lead the way in government open source adoption in the USA. The Oregon State University's Open Source Lab will host a Government Open Source Conference in October. The GOSCON has strong support from within the state government. The State's Department of Administrative Services released a white paper detailing their use of Asterisk for audio conferencing for more than 500 conferences a week. The set-up includes a web-based interface for judges to manage recording the hearings. In doing so the State joins Metro, a Portland area regional government which uses Asterisk along side its Beowulf Cluster."

    Seeing as how Oregon is so close to the hydroelectic power nearby, perhaps the grandparent post is confusing oil with water? :)
