So in Spain I had the honour of sitting on a panel with some of the worlds movers and shakers in getting OSS into Governments all around the world. I met Peter Quinn who was driving the Massachusetts effort, as well as representatives from Argentina, the Eurpoean Commission and the lovely Marcelo Branco from Brazil. It was great hearing different approaches to Open Source and it was awesome to see these countries and regions taking on Open Source to solve their technical, business, economic and social challenges.
Also the Go Girl event in Perth in a couple of weeks was covered in Computerworld recently 🙂
